Dandelion - Friend or Foe?
The dandelion is a familiar visitor in my garden and where it does not bother, it is allowed to spread freely. This is because it is both my friend and my enemy.
The dandelion - my friend:
- All parts of the dandelion can be eaten - leaves, flowers, root - and processed into, for example, dandelion syrup
- Dandelion is an ancient medicinal plant and can be used to cleanse the body
- Dandelion flowers can be dried and used in tea
