Do you want to know a secret? There is a high probability that you have a plant growing in your yard that has a lot of health and survival benefits, and you probably don’t even know about it. Heck, even if it's not growing in your yard, it’s almost certainly growing in your neighbor's yard or in a random sidewalk crack. The plant we’re talking about is the dandelion. Yes, dandelions. That “weed” so many of us have been led to believe should be eradicated from every lawn.
