Episode 42 – Bee Balm – Bold, Buzzing, and Brilliant

from The Beanstalk : A Podcast for Gardeners · host John

Episode 42 – Bee Balm – Bold, Buzzing, and Brilliant In this episode, John digs into bee balm, a bold native plant that supports pollinators, smells incredible, and quietly ties together beauty, function, and resilience 🌼🐝. We talk about how to grow it, harvest it, deal with common problems, and why it plays such an important role in a healthy garden ecosystem. There’s a cozy herbal tea recipe, plenty of fun facts, and a deeper dive into the science and history behind this amazing plant. Along the way, we reflect a bit on balance, simplicity, and how nature often already has things figured out. If you’ve ever wanted a plant that feels meaningful as well as practical, this one’s for you.
