Do You Pick Flowers From the Garden?

Now that the weather is warming up, flowers are beginning to bloom — hello, daffodils! — and there'll soon be plenty of stems ripe for your tabletop bouquets. Growing up on 13 acres, there were plenty of wild flowers for me to pick without encroaching on the territory of my mother's garden. Some families have off-limits rules about picking flowers from their garden, while others think they're there for the picking. How do you stand?
