Our garden is filled with daisies ….

This summer our Wild Flower garden has been overtaken with Wild Daisies ..

Not sure what to do about it .

I guess the bunnies don’t like to eat them. They have eaten everything else.

Should I trim them back ? Remove them ? Eat them ?

Food Uses of Daisy

The young flower heads or buds can be added to salads, soups or sandwiches; or the flower heads used to decorate salad dishes. The leaves can be eaten raw despite their bitter aftertaste, but are better mixed in salads or cooked and might be used as a potherb. The buds can be preserved in vinegar and used in cooking as a substitute for capers.

Nutritional Profile

It is both an anti-inflammatory herb and a vulnerary (improves circulation) herb. Drink daisy tea for the plant’s health-giving and restorative properties. A modern study of wild edibles used during the war in Bosnia and Herzegovina (1992–95) showed that daisies contain 34 mg of vitamin C per 100 g.
