Edible Lawn Weeds
Clover, Dandelion, Plantain and More Obscure Finds
A few years back, this was one of my first substack posts, where I talked through many of my favorite wild edible lawn weeds. Simple, easy-to-find edible, and medicinal wild weeds that grow right beneath your feet.
I’ve since flushed these thoughts out into a full guide, and it has its own post on my website:
Here’s where you can read the full post with more than thirty edible and medicinal lawn weeds.
What have I missed? What’s growing in your lawn, park space, soccer field, or grassy knoll?

Of my two garden locations - one in Shrewsbury, MA and the other in Wickford, RI, the RI site has sandy soil while Shrewsbury has clay soil. No purslane in Shrewsbury. Tons of it in RI! Good stuff!
Purslane! We have it growing as a weed in our gardens. Tastes like spinach and the leaves are thick so you've got some bulk when eating it. Fun fact! Thoreau ate purslane at Walden Pond and mentioned it in his book, On Walden Pond.
