Mountain willowherb (Epilobium montanum, Berg-Weidenröschen), with wild oregano (Origanum vulgare, wilder Dost) are growing wild among the steps of a natural stone staircase in our garden.
The stone steps are wide enough, but you still have to be careful not to step on the herbs as you walk down the stairs.

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
