Oregano, also known as wild marjoram, is a versatile plant with both culinary and ecological value. This aromatic herb plant thrives in Mediterranean climates and contributes to biodiversity in several ways. In the kitchen, the dark green leaves and flowers are loved for their spicy, herbal flavour, which enriches dishes such as pizza and pasta. But oregano also has an ecological role. Its nectar-rich flowers attract pollinators such as bees and butterflies, promoting the pollination of other plant species. Moreover, oregano acts as a ground cover, improving soil structure and moisture retention, beneficial for other plants. It can also attract natural enemies of pests, reducing the need for pesticides.
