From the article: Garden Visit Etiquette
I've listed my rules for good garden visiting etiquette. Have you seen rude or thoughtless behavior on a garden tour? Were you touched by something someone did to be especially kind on a visit? Share your own thoughts on both what to do and what not to do. Share Your Thoughts

Taking Root Cuttings

My late Mother-In -Law had to be watched closely during garden tours, conservatory visits and garden center trips because she would quickly snatch cuttings to root at home! It was kind of a habit for that depression era woman. She was good at it too. I think that she could make a fence post grow!

Rude Comments

I hate someone criticizing my work recklessly. Impolite comments put me off.
