Creeping thyme, long valued in Mediterranean kitchens, is finding new purpose in terraces and balconies as a natural barrier against mosquitoes — one that asks little of the gardener while offering beauty, flavor, and ecological harmony in return. In choosing such a plant, people are not merely managing pests; they are choosing a different relationship with the living world around them.
