Framed Mint Art

Mint, or as it is known in some parts of the world, Mentha, is a seasonal herb, growing in wet environments. According to Greek mythology, Hades’ wife Persephone, turned river's nymph Minthe into a plant after finding out that Hades was in love with her and that is how the plant got its name. Mint is growing during the entire year, especially in the nearby of lakes or rivers. It doesn’t have to be in perfect conditions to grow. Mint is rising from the seed or plant cuttings. There is no exact time when the herb should be harvested. After harvesting, it should be stored in plastic bags in order to keep its sweet-flavored aroma and freshness. Most frequently cultivated mints are peppermint, spearmint and apple mint.
