Great choices for Hip & Cool Garden Plants are covered in this 8 part series designed to add a little zip to your summer garden!   Dovecote is the teaching garden design lab and home to The Garden Talk Salon at Dargan Landscape Architects.    Topics in this episode:    . Solving problems in your garden and cultivating health? Elderberry is the plant for you! . The native Sambucus Americana is a fantastic plant to help mother nature fulfill its duty in your garden by providing nectar for pollinators. . It also provides the humans around it with both Flowers and Berrys, which are very very good for medicinal purposes and to make fun drinks. . It also comes in several colors such as champagne lemony Lace which is my all-time favorite shrub at this very moment. . Experiment with elderflower champagne and with elderberry wine!     Cheers!
