plant labels


If there is no admission charge, one should not complain about the lack of plant labels. If there is an admission charge, yell like hell if there are no labels. I have been doing this for years on England visits and it has paid off. At UCSC Arboretum, we found that visitors would pull up labels of the most exotic Australian or NZ plants - why? They obviously did not own them. So we have devised labels that are almost impossible to DIG up. People must feel it is a challenge to pull up or tear off a label. With young men...well, better keep that to myself. bill grant, aptos, California
