It's not spring until the Equinox, we've got 20 days for it to get drier and warmer. After half the night with rain hammering on the windows, I'm not optimistic. 😐
It's a shame they don't do any actual journalism and interview the park keepers.
Personally I think she's being lazy and not looking into community garden projects where she could ask for or earn cuttings. As someone in the comments said, if it was her garden would she like it if others were helping themselves?
If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.
It's wrong to take cuttings without permission. If everyone that passed by did that there's soon be no plants left. Better to take photos, identify the plant if necessary (they can always ask on here!) and buy one. Or ask the owner/gardener if you can have a cutting, seed pod etc (and respect their reply if they say no).
I was once visiting a garden where a gardener was cutting back a lovely fuchsia that was overhanging and partly blocking a path, so I asked if I could have a few cuttings and was given them. I took them home in my insulated mug that had a bit of cold black tea left in the bottom and it kept them moist enough to survive (it was a hot sunny summer day).

No, it was early-ish September (the week of my birthday) of either 2020 or 2021, I forget which, after the COVID rules were relaxed a bit and outdoor places were allowed to reopen.

Just had a post removed on Tripadvisor. Because I dared to question the accuracy of a post by a particular member. Quite simply they were totally wrong in the statement they made about a location. Nonetheless it was my post removed rather than theirs. Life's too short to fight to get it reinstated.
I wonder if Guinness will get protests about this. The guy has basically eaten more than 10 cows worth of burger meat to get his record. A whole herd just for him. I'm not against meat eating but if all 8 billion of us wanted to eat that much then we'd be in real trouble.
