This may be an obvious question... do you let your kids pick flowers?
Answered 5 years ago
I live in walking path of a school I see kids with their parents picking my flowers daily, all my harD work pays off during blooming and my front yard looks beautiful, it’s bare within days 😔
Iv always taught my children you never pick flowers from someone’s garden
Even when they pick flowers on our bush walks I always told them when you pick it they die. That no one else gets to see it’s beauty, and that whenever we become possessive of something that’s meant to be wild it loses it’s beauty and takes that beauty away from others to see.
I thought it was common decency not to pick from someone’s garden. ???

I agree with you 100%, we literally smell the flowers but never pick them. That is so rude that people do that.

It's annoying, this I plant the roses at the front and have the watering on twice a day when the school kids walk past.

I love it when the school kids point at my pretty flowers and lean in to smell the roses. I love that the garden brings joy to others. Not once has a school kid taken any roses. I think you’re mean to put the water on ( and if you’re in WA you’re not allowed to have sprinklers on between 9am and 6pm and only once a day, two days per week ). Let the kids see your beautiful roses, I doubt they’re going to pinch them. Or go outside when they’re walking past, you’ll probably receive great compliments on your roses. It’s a nice feeling.

It's the bloody mums mostly that do pick the flowers. I put the thorny ones at the front and have the water on a timer.

I have 40 rose bushes out the front of my house. A lot of people walk past my house and admire the roses but I’ve never seen anyone take any. I’ve had a couple of elderly ladies ask if they can have some cuttings and I’m more than happy to give them some but I think it would be disrespectful to take without asking.

No, not from other peoples gardens. In WA we have massive fines for picking wildflowers.

I don't let my children pick flowers from people's gardens. I think that's terribly rude!
I do let them pick clover flowers from the grass at parks or those yellow weed ones.

I was actually taking to my 6 yo daughter about this the other day. We were walking passed a house with flowers and she said ‘they are so pretty, can we have one’. I told her that no, we cannot because those aren’t our flowers. But we can certainly look at them and admire them.
I appreciate where you’re coming from as I have established and nurtured my beautiful rose bushes planted some years ago and am proud of their blooms. I’d be upset if someone just helped themselves.
