If they are on the side of the road then all is good as long as they are not stripping all the flowers as you have to teach them to leave some for others.
But never are they to take flowers from someones garden without asking.

Parents should teach their kids to respect other people’s property. If a flower is in someone’s property they do not have the right to pick them! My beautiful red and yellow tulips came out in my front garden and three kids came past (with their mothers) and picked them. I was so angry because tulip bulbs are expensive and I put a lot of time and effort in to growing them. The kids picked them, then proceeded to pick every petal off the flower. They didn’t even appreciate it. The boy threw his tulip to the ground and destroyed it. I caught all this as I was driving up my street and saw them one house away. So I stopped the car and told them off. My tulips have been admired by everyone that walks past but now those kids have destroyed them. And can I just add, we have a camera – those kids (ages 8-10) even felt it was ok to flip open my mail box and look inside. Obviously the parents need to teach those kids respect!!

I think it is another way children get to learn to appreciate the wonders of nature, but of course teach them to leave some for the birds, butterflies and the bee’s.

I think it’s lovely to see children picking flowers and, providing they don’t take them from property, why not?!

Grabbing a couple flowers from the garden at home or at the grandparents is fine. I loved watching the girls playing outside and getting creative in the garden the best.

I don’t think it’s an issue if the flowers are growing on public land, but also keep in mind others may want to appreciate the beauty of the flowers and don’t be greedy and take them all!

As long as they’re not on someone’s property, I don’t mind picking one or two from my own garden, the same with wild ones. Though the yellow ones that are technically a weed, they can go nuts.

It can be really hard for me to stop my kids from picking flowers, one because I’m outnumbered, and two because they always have the sweetest intentions, either picking them for me, or each other. But since my son accidentally pulled out an entire daisy bush from our neighbour, the rule is now wait til we get to the beach, then go nuts! Luckily we have very sweet, understanding neighbours 🙂

I think it’s ok unless it’s on someone’s property then it is unacceptable.

my boys love picking and giving it to me

Of course they should pick flowers. Does anyone remember making daisy chains? As long as they aren’t on private property, go for it. How else are kids meant to experience nature?

They should be allowed and while they are doing it parents can teach them where to not pick them from and also which ones are poisonous. As for meddling old ladies……

We pick weed flowers like dandelions and fire week, it’s a bit of fun for the kids. I would pick flowers in someone’s yard! Never.

I suppose it depends what the child does with the flower… I would hate for them to pick it just to immediately discard it.

I always told my children they are there for everyone to enjoy, so don’t pick them cause you are spoiling another person’s day.

fine if on a public road space

I can’t unstandard it’s stealing if you are helping yourself to someone’s front yard but it’s harmless fun with little ones…

As long as they don’t belong to anyone and I know what they are I don’t really see a problem with it.

THERE is nothing wrong with that if they are on the road
