Mint Plants are easiest to grow. Instead of spending your money at a super market on mint tea bags and leaves you can grow your own. Buying your own plant is a fresh start to making your own mint plants. Make sure that there aren't any type of insects on your mother plant because it will ruined your mint plant. Also put the mother plant in a bigger pot so that it has enough space to grow. It will need lots of soil because the soil has liquid that the plant needs. It will absorb the nutrients when it needs it.
TAKING CARE OF THE MOTHER!
Take the mother plant and put it next to the window or if you have a garden. A mint plant can take a strong amount of sunlight. The mother plant needs tones of water. You can recover it when it's dead however, a dead mint plant won't absorb as much water as a grown mint plant. The mint plant has a wonderful growing process.
THE SPRIGS!
You can take a sprig off the mint plant and it doesn't need that many leaves on it. Take the sprig and put it inside a glass of water. You must cut the sprig a centimeter away from the junction. Once it gets bigger you half to pick up your new plant and put it in the brand new pot. You must wait for the roots to grow before the plant is placed in the new pot.

How Southern Gardens Started
At South Philadelphia High School, outside on the school's Campus we have a beauttiful garden. In the Spring Cleanup of 2012, the LoMoyamensing Program came across SPHS on Synder Avenue onto the school's Campus. They launched garden beds on the side of Jackson Street near the School's Campus. The LoMoyamensing Association raised over $13,200 from the garden. The money came from grants such as the Bank Of Amrica, Recyclebank and Philly State. They had some help from in kind volunteer service and support from the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society.
Before the Program even got started the LoMoyamensing Program to the administrations of South Philadephia High School (SPHS) to ask permission to work together as a group to green the school's campus in year 2010. People in the Neighborhood where the only public open space. They asked South Philly High for the advice for which teachers would like to collaborate with them on the project. When the School agreed to supporting the project, they made plans for the launch of the orchard during the 2010 Philly Spring Cleanup. They partnered up with the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society and they gave them plants and other supports so they can establish the SPHS Gardens. Before the garden raised beds, they talked to South Philly High again for their support on beganing the project and reasearching Grants for it.
