I wanted to see if anyone knew where you can buy dandelion greens(not seeds) because everywhere i look online they're seeds.
Where can you buy dandelion greens?

Grocery stores carry them.
Your produce dept. may list it as chickory.
I have a couple grocery stores that sell them buy me. Try Whole Foods.

Online it says Publix and Whole Foods carry them but when I put in my location it says there are none available at this location
Ernie’s owner, I wouldn’t worry too much about what the online site says, at least not for Whole Foods. Go to their lettuce and greens section and poke around. You’ll likely find a large bundle of long leafy greens that looks nothing like the dandelions you’re used to. They might have green stems or red stems like the one in this picture.
If you can’t find them, you’ll be fine taking home a head of chicory, endive, radicchio, frisee, or escarole; they are dandelion relatives.

Where in Florida are you?
If you have a latino market near you they might carry cactus pad, labeled “nopales.” I’m not sure if it’s a popular food in Cuban cultures; I’ll have to visit a latino market the next time I’m in Florida.

Parkland Florida near Coral Springs
Always a good suggestion! Parkland looks to be fairly low in Asian demographics but I’d certainly do a Google search for “Asian market” and see what pops up.
Here is a link to a list of common landscaping and native plants in Southern Florida that are eaten by your gopher tortoises. Many of these will be good for your Hermann’s. Not all (check with us before adding anything new) but many. http://myfwc.com/wildlifehabitats/managed/gopher-tortoise/help/plant-guide/south-region/
Skip the grasses and trees on this list; your tortoise can’t have fruit and won’t be interested in grass.

Went into our local Whole Paycheck (Foods) to see if they had Dandelion greens and they did! Price was $2.99 US, but not sure if per lb or by bunch.
Locally I can find them at Whole Foods and also a small health food store that has a produce section.
