Etiquette on taking clippings from someone else’s garden? – Reddit Post

Happened to be looking out the window when a lady quickly rolled up in a car, put on gardening gloves, and started taking clippings from my garden. I’m new to gardening, but this is not OK, right? It was from an ivy like plant that grows abundantly in my front yard, but don’t think that should matter.

I went outside and confronted her and she seemed shocked but left right away. I would assume the right thing to do would be to simply knock and ask first?
