Speaker: Marc Williams, MA Dandelions (Taraxacum spp.) are plants known by many people wherever they grow in the world. They are beloved by some and hated and poisoned by others. In this talk, we will address the provenance of various dandelion species. Beyond that we will cover a multitude of applications of dandelions including food, medicine and beauty. The concept of turning what some consider a problem into a beneficial component of sustainable systems will help form the discussion about these plants and the exploration of the concept of exotic invasive species in general. A few recipes for delicious preparations with dandelions, a show and tell with tasting along with some thoughts about their other ecosystem functions will round out the presentation.
