  1. ...how do you hug a tree without walking on the grass?

    1. In Australia you are totally allowed to walk on the grass, unlike in some European countries.

  2. To Tom above I would draw his attention to the sign saying “Please walk on the grass.” I have just returned from a three week trip to Australia, and I was impressed throughout by the Botanic Gardens. They are glorious places and if I lived there would become a Friend for sure. Above all they were well used by people. Great to see.

  4. I love that sign! We could need it (in German) here, too!
    (Maybe you've been to our rather small Botanical Garden here).

    1. Thanks Iris. Can't really remember the Botanic Gardens in Braunschweig, it's been too many years...

  5. Of course one bird might look at another while a human is talking to them, and say, 'Millie, I don't think this human is playing with a full deck of cards.'

    1. Quite true Andrew, no problems walking on the grass in Australia. A friend was almost fined in Paris for walking on the grass, lol.

  9. What a truly wonderful and welcoming sign this is :)
    Unfortunately so often in the UK (and other countries) you see 'Keep off the Grass' signs.

    All the best Jan

    1. Thanks Jan. I know a lot of European countries don't like people to trample their grass which is a pity.

  10. When in Portugal I see a lot of signs: do not walk on the grass. I have never seen such a sign here.

    1. Oh yes Catarina, in Portugal as in many other European countries you can't walk on the grass unfortunately...

  11. Não é só em Portugal, Catarina.
    Em Macau também.
    É profundamente estúpido, não se pode qualificar de outra maneira.

    1. Macau tambem, pensei que fossem mais progressivos. E tao bom andar na relva e poder fazer um picnic e relaxar.
      Obrigada Pedro.

  12. Infelizmente em Portugal na maior parte dos jardins não se pode pisar a relva.
    Um abraço e continuação de boa semana.

  13. Now that sign is different. Here you see signs that tell you to stay of the grass. I hope people enjoy their walk on the grass. :)

    1. They certainly do Bill - they picnic, they play sports, they take their dogs for a walk...

    1. I think most European countries don't like people on the grass which is silly, how will they enjoy the parks?
