Wild Oregano (Origanum vulgare, Wilder Dost) is a perennial herb native to Europe and Asia, thriving in sunny meadows, forest edges, and dry grasslands. Ecologically, it is a valuable nectar and pollen source for bees, butterflies, and other pollinators from midsummer to autumn, supporting biodiversity when other flowers fade. Its aromatic leaves are widely used as a culinary herb, especially in Mediterranean cuisine, and it also has traditional medicinal uses as an antimicrobial, digestive aid, and anti-inflammatory remedy.
We had plenty of wild oregano in our garden, so I decided to replant it on a steep slope. It’s doing great again in a sunny, dry spot.

I have been building a shed with green roof for bins. Frame is now nearly finished. I am raising my own plants for the green roof from cuttings. #greenroof #sedum #sempervivum #saxifraga #origanum #Thymus
