I have this weed in my flowerbeds and lawn . Any ideas on how
to get rid of it.


Keep the soil surface hoed, and liverwort will not grow. It takes
hold on damp, undisturbed soil.

Notice it is liverWORT not Wart.
A wart you get on your skin, wort is applied to a plant such as
liverwort, St John's wort. Wort is pronounced as in word, not as in
wart!
Right I'll get down off my high horse!
