Propagating Elder Plants

The Elders are just leafing out...there is still time to make more from branches that shoot off the main part of the plant. If you cut about a pencil diameter sized 'whip' about 1-2 ft long, and put it in soil that is near a stream so it stays moist, you will have a new plant growing in a few weeks! I am astonished at how simple it is to do. Elder flowers and berries make good medicine. Why not include these amazing healers in your garden or yard repetoire? Happy planting!
