Noticed this sign at the N.J. Botanical Garden in Ringwood today.  

If you have trouble reading it, it says:

PRESERVE THE PLANT LIFE

Picking or injuring flowers,

ferns, shrubs or trees is unfair

to others and is forbidden

Leave the

NATURAL BEAUTY UNSPOILED

Classic in every way. Too bad it doesn't go without saying.

My column on the garden and park is next Thursday.
