I grow it in pots because it is part of my home. As with any plant, consumption—such as in tea—should be moderate. The lemon balm plant is perfect; I really love its aroma and observing its branches and tiny flowers—sprays that cascade gracefully toward the tips. Bees fly around them, doing their work; I was fascinated to see a bee there one day—I had never seen one quite like that before. Nature presents itself in ways that convey messages. It is God's way of telling us that life exists and must be respected; if we like these plants, we should care for them, and if not, we should allow others to do so without harming them. After all, we are all aware—in one way or another—of the role plants play regarding the air we breathe, whether they are tiny plants or lush, leafy trees.
