Dandelion is a perennial herb thought to be introduced from Europe and Asia. It is now naturalized throughout the Northern Hemisphere and is considered a major weed.  All parts of the plant are edible but not particularly tasty.  Dandelion is believed to have healing qualities and has been used around the world to treat a variety of ailments. 

Our main concern is to keep the flowers near the gardens from going to seed and to pull out the plants the pop up in the garden beds and paths.  The kids love to see who can pull out the longest root.  The record in our gardens is 12".
