My husband and I are concerned that we have poison hemlock growing in our wildflower garden. I will attach photos. If indeed this is poison hemlock, how do you recommend that we eliminate it safely? Many thanks.

Hello,
No, this is most definitely NOT poison hemlock or a relative. This plant is from a completely different family. This is called common Yarrow (Achillea millefolium). It is a common plant that has many cultivars used in gardens.
