Good morning from Scotland, we have an Elder tree in our back garden, which I believe to be about 80 years old, it is mainly a stump about 2 foot diameter, it has always been a short tree but extremely bountiful, unfortunately 2 years ago a contractor working in the opposite garden cut the tree to make his work easier, without our knowledge, so wee apologised to the tree for the harm that had been inflicted on it , it has since started to grow some new shoots and produced some flowers and berries last year , so hopefully we will get enough berries for some jam this year , blessings sent to you .
I hope you are now fully restored & well again Terri. As always a beautifully filmed video of the winter landscape- I particularly enjoy learning about all the ancient wisdom and folklore associated with plants & trees you share.
Thank you Teri for another interesting and informative film. I've been taking willow bark remedy for my hip bursitis being anti-inflammatory it's been very helpful. Thanks to for Lol's filming and the lovely music interlude ❤
Beautiful elder. I love my elders, including a dark variety with dark brown leaves. Thank you for your previous stories about trees and in particular the Rowan tree. I recently lost my nearest and partner in music, a very talented composer and songwriter, to lymphoma. Thanks to your video, I went and got a Rowan tree to put on his grave, just down from my garden. Bless. 🙏🙏🙏
Already sprouting?! In january?! That's wonderful. In the middle of sweden the snow is waist high and the pemperature is minus 23... The quiet the snow brings and the truly wonderful landscapes it creates are so beautiful it takes our breath away every time we step outside.
Same here in the Yukon Canada, loads of snow and -24 today , no daffodils and since I was born and raised in the Netherlands I really miss the daffodils, snowdrops and crocuses
The frost painting is breath taking! Here our Elders are more like bushes. I finally have two growing in my garden. Wish I had started learning about all the wonders of the plant world years ago. I have always been drawn to it and nature but just now studying seriously. Throughly enjoying it now. I think today's weather requires 2 cups of coffee.😁 Cold and freezing rain.
I love my elder trees so much! The flowers are also delicious as syrup and as fritters. Wonderful for respiration issues.Thank you for the additional ideas and history!
Terri, this is a very informative video. I never realized how easy it is to propagate Elder. I like the idea to thank Elder for her medicine. I always say a prayer of gratitude over my kitchen garden when I'm weeding and harvesting. Good luck with your new herbal course. The frosting on your window is beautiful. My best to you and Lol, and have a blessed Imbolc. Looking forward to your next video. Blessings from Canada. 🍁
The negative connotations comes from individuals who are not pro plant healing. In fact they probably have a bad connotation for all plants because they plain and simple hate plants. Keep doing what you do beautiful soul. Thank you for sharing. All Glory be To Our Heavenly Father!
Elderflower makes a beautiful cordial/syrup & is very refreshing! When I lived in the New Forest there were local homemade wines, elderberry was my favourite. Look forward to hearing more about trees & medicine, & your book next month! Love & Many Blessings Terri, & Beautiful Ireland🌻🐞 Also a Beautiful January/Wolf Moon too🐝🐛
In chinese medicine, elder flowers are used to help heal broken bones and injured ligaments, tendons, and muscles. Applied topically as a poultice. I like to use it along with comfrey for sprains and strains and other deep tissue injuries.
Such an amazing tree! Thank you for showing us how to make the cuttings, it is in my wishlist for this year to have an Elder tree ❤ sending you much love ❤
I have been stuck in my house for a week and two days because of an ice storm. That means that ice is on the roads and ground an inch or three deep. In the southern states of the U.S. we are not used to it. So seeing you again was a ray of sunshine. Just saying.
I’m trying to start more trees in my greenhouse to replenish the woods on the edge of our property after pests wiped a few out. Here predatory birds sit in them looking for a hunt over our flock, but we’ve also put several safe covers for the flock so we can still enjoy their company.
I’ve had a lot of struggles with respiratory issues for the past few months and mucus. This weekend I tried a tea made with elderberry and mullein, I sweetened with raw local honey, and drank a pot of tea morning and evening. Two days!! Only two days and I’ve noticed a difference!!! Thank you for all the wisdom you share with us on this channel!
So nice to see the elder buds in January. Here in Ulster County NY, it is -12C. and windy . We won't be seeing any buds until March. Wonderful information about the Elder Tree. Thanks!
Hola! Thank-you for more gorgeous Winter inspiration! I live on 11 acres of magnificent live oaks, cedar, red oak, pinon pine, and all the other smaller trees living under the canopy. As a pro gardener, I don't have tons of money in the bank, but I am a billionaire in trees! The trees are worth Much more than money. Thanks for honoring them!
Hi Terri and Lol and all your beautiful companions!!! Love the wind!!!! Love the magic of your land!!! Love the little frosted window!!! I have you on my prayers, hope you guys are doing well... Life is a process a constant transformation and I am so glad to share mine with yours guys, even if it is through yours videos once a week!!! I am so grateful of your loving wisdom and kindness and willingness to do good to others!!!Please do not think for a second that it is not seen , felt and appreciated!!! Be blessed and be more blessed. Love and joy and peace !!!! 😃🙏🌹
❤️ Lovely. When you mentioned the Elder tree previous, I imagined a huge tree, an "Elder." Now, looking at it, it seems to resemble my grandma's forsythia. Thank you for the new knowledge. 💙
I’ve never seen an actual elder until you showed it. I’ve had elderberry wine and cough syrup and it does help the throat and syrup.lovely view and knowledge and music ❤
Terry thanks so much for sharing your knowledge. Ive bought a special journal to write down notes.I love the practical and magical combination.Arent trees wonderfull!❤❤❤❤❤😊
@DanusIrishHerbGarden Thank you Terry.I live in Ennis,on the little walk to town by a big busy road there are a few beautiful big trees on a little patch of grass.I always greet them.There is one great big Tree that grows as 2 trees from the grass.I greet that tree as Gemini Tree( yes I'm Gemini.There is also a little circle of connected Trees.Im not sure if it is one or a few.I plan to clear out the rubbish and plant some bulbs soon.Im not strong enough to remove the tyre; but I thought maybe the flowers can hide it.Hoping people will stop dumping the litter when they see the flowers.Its just a tiny patch.Unless the council catches me!😉There's probably a law against it!But the Bees take precedence in my heart x
Those images of the frost were so beautiful! Your videos always bring me such peace..I look forward to them every week! The dogs are my favorite! Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us....I live on the North East Coast of America and am looking for a deeper connection to nature..your helping me so much! 💚💚💚
dear Terri............thank you for that Information........here in Germany we drink also eldertea.................and make soup from the berries.........................Blessings and Greetings from Daggy,Kiel,Germany..............xx..............☘☘☘
The way frost forms delicate feathers, layer upon layer , always fascinates and delights me. So exciting when the trees and other plants begin to awaken.❤
You came today and it was a blessing for me to learn am actually I bed sick always have elderberry but now am out of it.bt your teachings and your landscape amazing.thanks for all you do
Thank you Terri for another great video. Storm here at the moment is quite bad. So many beautiful trees down around our countryside and thousands out of electricity. Hoping it soon dies down 😳 xx
💖Thanks So Much for another Gorgeous video! The Scenery is So Beautiful and Relaxing to watch; I Love seeing the Chickens and Dogs outside and All the Green!!💚💚🌿It's So Nice to learn about the Trees and their Medicine; I only knew about the Elder Berries but never the bark! 🫐Women's Health sounds like a Wonderful Course! 🧚♂🧚♀✨
Good to see you Terri! Thanks for this interesting history of Elder trees. I had an American Elder at my old house Before I could get back to get some cuttings the people who bought the house cut it down…broke my heart. I’m going to be planting one at my new place. Have a good week❤️
Always love your work and garden and trees etc and animals.. I must have a go at propagating some of these trees.. you are amazing and inspirational ❤️👌
Thank you Terri, what interesting religious associations My favourite tree, summer elderflower wine followed by autumn elderberry. I also reg forage funghi on the elder it has so much application. Plus medicinal. Luv the exquisite backdrop and the furry angels, are magick. The hens look so happy. Always look forward to your weekly wisdom blessed be x PS Mother storm is back again I love it!
Thank you for sharing this, I watched it on Odysee first - but it wouldn't let me leave a comment. Thank you for sharing how to propagate Elder (the gardening tips and herbal remedies help tremendously) - I will have to wait a bit to do it here, we just finally got snow - so it probably won't be gone until maybe May. Enjoy your weekend!
Thank you. I live in USA and there are lots of wild elderberry bushes all over but those are different from the tree you are talking about. I had to do some research, actually for fun too. Thank you for sharing all your information!
Absolutely loved this program, thank you. 💖 Coincidentally, I was just making a batch of elderberry/elderflower tea for our family right before watching this, with berries and flowers from Ukraine. Elderberry is truly magical and very potent medicine. In the U.S., we have a native elder bush. I had never seen an elder tree until I went to Scotland recently and saw a beautiful elder tree by Eileen Donan Castle, by Loch Ness. Peace be with you friend. 🍀
I continue to be fascinated and impressed with your videos. They’re so genuine, down to earth, not flashy, and truly natural. Thank you for putting out such lovely content-Live from Omaha, NE, USA
One of my favourites, the elder. I've taken later cuttings and they root really well in water too. Cheers Terri. Dafs already! None here, but the elder tree out the front of the house has leaves already and we have some purple crocuses - very cheerful in the snow, but getting a battering today now the monsoons are back.
An amazing view of the frost icicles on your window at the start of your film today, is beautiful. Thank you for the valuable information about the Elder tree and how to use and propagate it, nice to see how it's done too, all the best Terri with all your endeavors, look forward to your next film, next week, all being well.
Beautiful video as always. They always warm my heart as here it has been all ice, snow and chilling cold. Love elderberry for its medicinal and preventative properties and always make it in winter using dried berries. Birds love the berries too❤ Thank-you so much for sharing with us!!
Hello Terri great to see you & learn more about the Elder Tree just the power & wisdom & healing aspect has blown me away totally today Magical for sure✨I have a beautiful Elder tree in my home garden in Suffolk i even made elder flower cordial once , lots of Hawthorn in my garden a Walnut tree a cobnut tree a small Apple Tree & Pear, we had a trip there last week to tidy up the Bungalow & garden as so overgrown from a previous tenant sadly but new tenants moving in , i felt heartbroken to leave this time as my partners parents are both so ill & at end of life care i wanted to move back to be with them & to move back home to my garden life is too short not to be doing what you yearn for 🙏 my job has taken me away from my home , we have to rent out our home sadly for the past seven years & live in flat with no garden over this time i feel unhappy not to be able to grown my own food & have trees around me & nurture them & in turn they nurtured me . i am lucky to have a wonderful sea view but its not the same i miss the garden being my own space & haven, Terri watching your channel has inspired me so much towards Herbalism , i enjoy learning & the peace & calm from your land & plants around you & those lovely pets lovely calming music & filming is a joy to behold many thanks for all your hard work as i know you must be busy everyday✨🥰
Terri I look forward to seeing you on Danu Irish herb .You are so relaxing to listen too .I have learned so much from you .Thanks for sending out this .amazing. Knowledge. Watching from N Ireland.
Beautiful video, Terri. I love elder so much! It also works well in a makeshift steam tent (strong tea in a bowl of water that you lean your head over with a towel over the whole thing. For clearing head and chest congestion, or for pimple-y teens! I was taught to use elder flower with yarrow & a bit of peppermint leaf for this. I've always wanted to make elderflower cordial or wine, but have yet to do that. For now I use a small amount of the dried berries in my daily herb tea blend, for added vitamins. (And keep the dried flowers on hand for illness.) Blessings to you! I always love this peek into your beautiful corner of the world.
Hi Terri. I am so happy to see you today! It is truly refreshing and am so thankful and grateful that you are uploading videos still. I love how you do so much teaching as well as having so much beautiful and exciting landscape. I have never had the elderberry but will love to try it out one day. Much love always~~Sindy Lou.
A great herb for women I have locally is Amora Miura/Morus nigra, I've made a tincture of it's leaves (the birds seeded them in my yard!) for my mother who's going through menopause, after a few uses she can already tell it's helping with the menopause heat, nature really has everything we need.💚
