Oregano is full of antioxidants and an excellent source of fiber, vitamin K and E, iron, and calcium! Not to mention a great addition to any type of tomato sauce or marinade.
Oregano is also a perennial herb and makes for great ground cover. How can you go wrong?

Oregano needs full sun to thrive: meaning it needs 6-10 hours of direct sun daily,
it will do best in well-drained soil,
you can start oregano from seed or cuttings,
watered evenly,
plant oregano after the last spring frost, and lastly
harvest as needed!
