Did you know this about elder
Elder (Sambucus nigra) grows wild and in gardens. The true elder variety blossoms in June with large yellowish-white flower heads that are used to make cordials, jams and desserts. The black elderberries can also be used to make cordials and jams. Red elder is a wild, non-edible elder variety with coral-coloured berries. In ancient times, elder was regarded as a holy plant. The nordic goddess Freya was believed to live in the elder tree, and would be invoked to help solve love problems. In the past, elder was used for medicinal purposes and as tea. It is still used for tea, but mainly for cordial.
