The dandelion... its edible leaves, flower petals and roots rich in Vitamin A, C, iron, calcium and other micro-nutrients provide a host of dietary benefits such as cleansing and maintaining proper liver function, building strong bones and lowering blood pressure. In the garden the large taproots help to naturally till the soil and recycle nutrients from the deep sub-soils back up to the topsoil. A diversely beneficial and persistently abundant resource, and yet to many the dandelion is an unwelcome weed that invades our lawns.

To us, the dandelion represents an opportunity to look past what we perceive in the everyday, and as a society engage deeper with what nature has to offer.

The dandelion signifies nature’s unflagging desire to provide for us - to provide a healthy, sustainable and vibrant life. The vision of Deepening Roots is to make this kind of sustainable engagement a reality in the everyday lives of all North Americans
