... and more importantly, how do I get rid of it?

A couple of years ago it appeared in my garden, then spread to the
grass where it is starting to take over the entire lawn.

It looks like yarrow (a type of herb). It smells best when grown in
poor soils, has almost a thyme-like smell, as if it would be good in
meat dishes. The plants are also commonly grown for their wide array
of colorful flowers.
