More bikepath garden thefts

Two more plants lifted from the gardens--a lavender plant and a poppy plant (total out of my pocket about $12). Also, last night someone came along (between 5 pm and 10 pm and cut about 60 poppies from the large patch that my gardening partner went to great lengths this summer to cultivate. Red, pink, yellow, and white poppies were cut; the orange were left. How bizarre. People have been loving those poppies--especially kids.

Please take pictures if you see anyone stealing plants or messing around in the gardens at odd hours. It's a violation of the entire community that enjoys these gardens each day.

Am ready to give up. Just can't deal with these petty thieves anymore.

Aren't we talking about the (somewhat fenced-off) BIkeway Community Garden? That's not 'public' in quite the same way that the bike path pavement is.

OK, but can someone collect flowers, legally?...

No, we're talking about the plantings along the bike path, in this case on its North side, near where it crosses Willow.

I'm wondering if it could be considered vandalism, perhaps...
