Hi
I'm wanting some holly sprigs to decorate my home. I don't want to do anything illegal to get it but am I allowed to pick it from bushes on the road side, or not.
Thanks

You can please some of the people some of the time, all of the people some of the time, some of the people all of the time but you can never please all of the people all of the time

    I can't see that many people would complain about a little selective "pruning" ;)

    To be honest, I've got a big bush in my front garden and as long as people asked I wouldn't mind them taking some so I really can't see the problem with taking it from the roadside.

    I suppose you only wish to pick folliage.
