Default stealing from Garden Centres

I am very fond of Fuchsias and earlier this week I was wandering and looking

Fuchsias are so easy to propagate I wondered how many people do snip bits
off and take them home ? If anyone from Coinros just outside Lydney Glos.-
well worth a visit if you are in the area - is reading this, no, I didn't
steal any bits I am coming back to buy the plants as soon as I can :-)


I do. I just can't help it - but not fuchsia because I don't really
like them. I've just took/done over 10 cuttings from hedges bordering
an old college near my home - viburnum tinus, hydrangea macrophelia (I
think the quadricolour one, hopefully), and the oak leaf one. I don't
feel bad - but I would from a garden centre and I have never took from
one. I wouldn't from a botanic garden or a park, and I have done it
many times - I would actually imagine that my garden are perhaps 40%
'stolen' cuttings )
