When it comes to gardening, few plants are easier to grow than mint. And when it comes to attracting pollinators, few families can boast such achievements. One of the first plants I ever cultivated was Mentha vulgaris, or common spearmint. It started me on the wonderful journey of gardening. Mint belongs to the large Lamiaceae family, which has the unique feature of having a square stem, making them easy to identify.
