Mint is a versatile herb that can be used in both sweet and savory dishes. It has a refreshing flavor and aroma that can instantly uplift your courtyard. Whether you want to make a refreshing mojito or add a hint of mint to your salads, having a mint plant in your herb garden is a great idea. Just be careful, as mint can be quite invasive, so it's best to grow it in a container to prevent it from taking over your entire courtyard.
