Lilacs are a harbinger of spring! Their luscious fragrance and delicate beauty and the abundance of their bushes delight the senses.

Cut some lilac branches for your kitchen table – the bushes grow back healthier when they're trimmed so you're doing no harm.

If you can't find any in a common area (alley, field, etc.) ask a neighbor if you can cut some of theirs, or purchase some at a florist or farmer's market, or plant a bush of your own.
