What’s Blooming?
Heritage Herb Garden Tour
Wednesday @ Noon
Begins at the Herb Study Center

Elder, Sambucus nigra var. canadensis is in bloom right now all over north central Arkansas. Tiny flowers are borne in flat-topped, umbrella-shaped corymbs, in masses—they are cream-colored and sweetly fragrant. Elderflowers begin to appear in our zone 7 areas in late May and last a couple of weeks. This is a small window of time in which to harvest the blooms. Click here to learn more in Yarb Tales
