Most gardeners were taught to kill it. We spray it, pull it, and curse it for showing up in our lawns—yet for over 1,000 years this “weed” was used as medicine, food, and survival support across cultures. In this episode of Unearthed Harvest, we uncover how dandelion (Taraxacum officinale) went from respected herbal staple to public enemy number one—right alongside the rise of the “perfect lawn” and modern herbicides.
You’ll learn what makes dandelion such a resilient plant (deep taproot, soil-mining minerals, early pollinator support), why traditional healers valued it, and what modern researchers are exploring today. Most of all, you’ll see how a free, widespread plant could be “erased” from everyday knowledge—because a perfect lawn was easier to sell than a living ecosystem.
Small action challenge: Next time you see the first dandelion this week, don’t pull it—pause for 10 seconds and look at it differently. Then comment what you noticed.
