You will never think of dandelions as weeds again after this weeks episode of the My Slice of Life podcast! From fairies trying to hide from humans, to lessons in resilience. From liver detox, immune support or fighting anaemia, to carrying messages to the deceased and much, much more. This plant has so much to offer us and asks for nothing in return.
So get yourself comfortable and prepare to gain a new respect for this cheery little flower which is about to become your new best garden friend!
