    Hello I found this plant in my woods behind my yard in Massachusetts. Can you let me know what it is? 😁

    Answer

    Dear Sorgenman, your plant is Glechoma hederacea (Gill-over-the-ground or ground-ivy), a non-native member of the mint family that is very frequent on lawns around New England. Best wishes.
