Need a doable day trip in Ohio? Going to see these trolls outside of Dayton was exactly what I needed to put a little pep in my step. The trails are family friendly and the working farm was a perfect resting place for my kiddos. Also the amount of wildflowers was AMAZING. So many fascinating parts with something for everyone to enjoy. Don’t forget to stop at the welcome center as they have some fantastic educational displays and live critters to learn about.

A lot of “weeds” growing around us have been used for generations in kitchens and home gardens.

Things like dandelion, chickweed, red clover, purslane, plantain, and even daylily buds are familiar to a lot of foragers once they learn what they’re looking at.

What I’ve learned is this:

Just because a plant is common doesn’t mean it’s safe to guess.

Some edible wild plants have toxic lookalikes, and that’s where people get into trouble fast.

Queen Anne’s lace is the big one people always mention, because it can be confused with poisonous plants like hemlock.

So this kind of list is a nice starting point for learning, but never the last step.

A good habit is to:

1. Identify the plant more than one way
2. Check the leaves, flower, stem, smell, and growth habit
3. Use a trusted field guide or local expert
4. Never eat anything unless you’re fully sure

I do think it’s worth learning these plants though.

Once you start noticing them, you realize how many useful plants are hiding in plain sight around yards, paths, fence lines, and garden edges.

Have you ever found an edible wild plant growing in your yard?
