Teasel – Issue 105

This month we tear into that regal plant, Teasel. Teasel is often seen on the side of the freeway, sometimes growing to 6 feet in height or taller, with majestic looking crowned flower heads. Considered invasive, it is often sprayed but persists.

This issue talks about Teasel’s most common use (for Lyme) and other lesser known uses as well. Learn all about Teasel through songs, stories, poems, games and puzzles and make some cute little critters out of the dried flower heads.
