Wildflowers…To pick or not to pick

I have made it a point since I started Flower Press Studios to be wary of picking wildflowers.I only pick wildflowers that grow naturally in my own garden or that I have sown in my garden. I read this article from the Guardian when I was first starting out and it persuaded me to leave wild flowers where they are! https://www.theguardian.com/law/2011/mar/16/rules-picking-wild-flowers Plus it encourages me to grown more and more of my own flowers which can only be a good thing. The garden is looking very bare at the moment though so I've just been out and bought lots of seeds to sow. Roll on Spring.
