Oregano is also a very easy plant to start from cuttings. If you know someone who has a good patch of it just cut a few ends off, apply some rooting hormone or dip the ends in honey and stick 'em in some dirt. Keep them moist and in warm weather they'll have good roots in about a month.
Thanks for the info on oregano, I had not heard of using honey before.
Shame, of it is, I do not know anyone with a plant.
