Vermont Elderberry Project


Saturday July 16 ~ release of two elderberry cultivars, Coomer & Berry
Hill, from the stock of Lewis Hill


The elderberry has long been used in Native America and in the Vermont farm
kitchen, as plant medicine, for jam and wine, for stream bed erosion
control, and as food for birds.





The two elderberry cultivars are planted near each other for cross
pollination and fruit set. Lewis Hill will talk about his years of raising
elderberries, the development of these cultivars, where to plant and care
for them. There is no charge for the talk, a $24 fee includes the two
cultivars. 10 AM, Honey Gardens Apiaries, 5335 Route 7, Ferrisburgh (1/2
mile south of Dakin Farm, ½ hour south of Burlington, a few miles north of
Vergennes) For more information, contact Honey Gardens, 802.985.5852,
