🌱 Dandelion Note
As autumn approaches, dandelion roots deepen—many herbalists dig them now for kitchen and learning projects like roasted “root coffee” or simple teas.
🍇 Plant Spotlight: Elderberry
Across Wisconsin, elderberry clusters ripen into rich, dark fruit—cherished for syrups, jams, and cordials that carry late-summer flavor into fall.
Forager’s Tip (visual)
Freezing whole clusters makes berries strip off stems much more easily—less time, fewer purple fingers.
Reflection
Like the dandelion root—unseen yet steadily growing deeper—this season invites us to ground ourselves and gather strength for the months ahead.
