Elderberry Blossoms

 

The fragrance in the garden right now is unbelievable. It makes weeding much more enjoyable. The elderberry bushes are in full bloom, I wish there was a way to share the sweet fragrance that they put off. Between the smell and buzz of the busy bees it is very relaxing place to spend an early morning or late evening.
Last fall I was going to move these bushes as they had grown too big for their location and I am adding a greenhouse that borders where they are. I really pruned them back in preparation to move them, then spring was busy and they didn’t get moved. Now they are loaded with blossoms, more than in years past. I learned a few lessons this year about elderberries. That is why I love gardening; there are always lessons to learn.
