Self interest caused dandelions to come to the New World same as the Plantago major type of plantain. Both are hugely beneficial to humans so they planted them. Tell your neighbors how to use the weeds for themselves, and they'll naturally leave some growing for the bees. Send them our way!
Part of what kills environmentalism is those people flying around in private jets tell us that we have to give up things, or give them money to save the environment. Instead, we should be rearranging things synergistically for mutual benefits. Permaculture people are onto something big.
Your knowledge on weeds is continuously surprising. In my neighborhood I’m trying to get people to stop mowing in May and let these superstars have their day in the sun.
But it’s not easy going! Even when you tell people how much the bees need dandelion they still don’t quite get it.
Thanks, Teagan.
