Final Thoughts
Before you go on your next weeding spree, take a closer look at what you’re pulling up. That “weed” might just be one of nature’s most generous and healing plants.
Plantain isn’t just something to ignore or destroy — it’s a gift growing right at your feet. Once you know what it is, you’ll never look at your lawn the same way again.
So next time you see those broad green leaves poking up in your yard? Let them be. Your body, your soil, and the bees will thank you.
