Since lockdown was introduced, Brits have been allowed to leave their house daily to get fresh air and exercise. But people have been warned not to pick wild flowers whilst out walking as it could land you a hefty £5,000 fine or even a prison sentence.
Plant experts explained that there are laws in place to stop people picking flowers such as bluebells or daffodils - so don't be tempted, reports Pendle Today.
These laws fall under the Wildlife and Countryside Act of 1981 and the Theft Act of 1968, which means that any flowers in public parks and on roundabouts - owned by the council - are off limits, as are flowers on verges, nature reserves or private land.
