There's a natural herb garden outfit about 4 or 5 miles from my Brother. I'll stop in there every once in a while to get potions, balms, or teas. 2 years ago we were there and somehow for the first time I noticed they had 2 rows of elderberry growing.
With permission from brother I offered a trade. They were welcome to forage his 16 acres from forested mountaintop to the swampland along the creek. He doesn't chemical anything instead relying on nature, manpower, and machine power to manage his land. In exchange for wild crafting some few plants they brought him 7 young elderberry bushes that fall. 5 of which are still alive and thriving. Brother planted them about 15 ft back from his drive at the edge between where he mows under the towering evergreens and where the wilderness begins. Usually the deer, bear, and birds devour the berries for now. When they're a little older, I will be reminding him he made the exchange at the urging and for the benefit of his younger sibling (whom he calls his favorite pest - although he usually uses a different term of endearment
)
