Anything in a vacant lot is fair game. Before we moved to this house, I cut holly from some trees in a downtown area where a whole neighborhood of homes had been demolished at some point the the land left untouched for decades. Your foraging is similar and you're not depriving others from the enjoyment of the plants. When someone picks all of the tulips or tugs up a rose bush or two from the beds in a park, that's an entirely different animal. Forage on my talented and sensitive friend!outlawgardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08273973572989510382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6598416695566325151.post-13804112652357574782014-12-28T11:43:27.215-08:002014-12-28T11:43:27.215-08:00Damn, I'm sorry about the missing berry branch...Damn, I'm sorry about the missing berry branches. I've been talking a lot lately (on the blog) about foraging for holiday materials (wreaths, tree, mantle greens) and feel a bit guilty by association, although I would never cut from a garden it still suddenly seems so wrong. Glad your hellebore was there to provide a positive counter to the negative.danger gardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09227500551609537140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6598416695566325151.post-6278596341565337962014-12-27T11:04:19.124-08:002014-12-27T11:04:19.124-08:00I'm no longer amazed, some people feel entitle...I'm no longer amazed, some people feel entitled to take whatever they wish.

I'm hoping to add more to my own garden this year now that removal of the lawn has given me a suitable area, although I don't think they're as happy here as they are in the PNW. I featured a rather ordinary tree that developed some unexpected color as my favorite this week.Kris Petersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07097260283693156795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6598416695566325151.post-61764077755580728782014-12-26T15:20:01.631-08:002014-12-26T15:20:01.631-08:00As I complain about the foraging habits of the dee...As I complain about the foraging habits of the deer, I tend to forget about the foragers that show up in an urban setting.
