    So many common weeds are actually incredible food and medicine. It's time for a shift in how we view and treat these plants! It's time we stop the use of harmful herbicides and for the embrace these abundant weeds like dandelion, plantain, and burdock for their medicinal and nutritional benefits. I highly encourage you to get out there, learn how to identify, harvest, and use these abundance plants, and help make herbalism to spread 'like wildflowers.'
