The reason we think dandelions are weeds is because of a 1950s marketing campaign.
Dandelions, native to Europe and Asia, were brought to North America in the 1600s by European colonists who grew them deliberately.
Every part is edible. The leaves are a salad green, the flowers were made into wine, and the roots were roasted as a coffee substitute and used medicinally for liver and kidney conditions for thousands of years. They were a kitchen-garden staple well into the 1800s.
The shift happened after World War II, when 2,4-D (originally developed for chemical warfare research) was approved as a residential herbicide. Companies like Scotts built the modern lawn-care industry around the idea that a perfect green lawn meant zero broadleaf plants.
Dandelions, being bright yellow and resistant to mowing, became a visible enemy, and the campaign worked. By the 1970s, "dandelion-free" was synonymous with "well-kept."
They aren't native, but they aren't doing significant ecological harm either. The herbicides used to kill them, on the other hand, kill bees, contaminate groundwater, and have been linked to non-Hodgkin lymphoma in humans.
If you hate dandelions, it's most likely due to a marketing campaign that ran before you were born.
🚨The police are estimating that there will be over 1 million Arsenal fans lining the streets of Islington for the Gunners parade next weekend.
It will be the largest parade ever held in London if the estimated numbers are correct.
🥺🏆 Mikel Arteta: “It’s one of the best feelings I’ve ever had. I couldn’t watch City game. I could hear noises from inside, then my son opened the door, ran towards me…
…he was crying and he said ‘we are champions daddy!”.

Mikel Arteta: “I was supposed to be here at London Colney watching the game with the boys and certain staff, but I couldn’t do it.
“Before the game, I had to leave. I couldn’t bring the energy that I wanted.
“I went home, I went into the garden, I built a fire on my own. I didn't watch it.
“My son opens the door, started to cry and said: ‘we’re champions daddy.”
