Mints

Fresh, fragrant, and incredibly versatile, mint is a must-have addition to any garden. This hardy perennial herb is known for its vigorous growth and refreshing aroma, making it a favorite among gardeners and chefs alike. With its lush green leaves and delicate, spiky flowers that attract pollinators, mint thrives in a variety of conditions, from garden beds to containers. Whether you prefer the classic coolness of spearmint or the bold, sweet notes of peppermint, this resilient plant is perfect for culinary uses, herbal teas, and even natural pest control.

One of mint’s greatest strengths is its adaptability and ease of care. It flourishes in partial to full sun and prefers moist, well-drained soil, though it can tolerate less-than-ideal conditions. However, due to its rapid spreading nature, it's best grown in containers or designated areas to prevent it from overtaking other plants. Regular harvesting encourages new growth and ensures a steady supply of fresh leaves for cocktails, desserts, and homemade remedies. Whether used to freshen up summer drinks or infused into soothing balms, mint brings both beauty and utility to any garden space
