Free Elderberry U-Pick Event, For Science!

https://www.savannainstitute.org/event/free-elderberry-u-pick-event-for-science-2/

Our elderberries are ripening and ready to be picked. Elderberry Breeder, Lily Hislop, wants to know more about people’s preferences when it comes to plants and picking.

Join us in Spring Green, Wisconsin at our research farm to learn about elderberries, pick berries, give feedback, and leave with all the berries you’d like. Bring your own containers, and we’ll have spare buckets for suggested donation. All ages welcome!

Please note, we will be doing two harvests – one on August 16th and another on August 31st. You are welcome to come to either (or both!).

In case of thunder and lightning, the event will be moved to the next day (August 17th). Registrants will be informed by 8am day-of if the event needs to be moved.

E5219 Jones Rd, Spring Green, WI 53588
