The vandalists from the Nature Reserve steal flowers and expensive logs “for the medium -class wooden burners”

The middle class thieves stole expensive flowers for their gardens and logs for the wooden burners in a natural reserve.

Volunteers from a community garden in New Milton, Hants, are in their arms after they have discovered that they have been digged from the ground and taken in a raid overnight by a thief with the green finger.

Bulbs that are now in full flower thought they were raised by someone who wanted them for their own garden.

The small theft follows the disappearance of the piles of logs that were deliberately left in a shady part of the public garden to attract mushrooms and other wild animals.

But the timber was taken by selfish residents to put in fashioned wooden burners – who can cost up 1000 pounds – to heat their homes.

Ballard Water Meadow has also suffered vandalism attacks.

The signs urge people to stick to the paths, so that we do not step on delicate forest flowers, as the blue were snatched and thrown into the bushes before.

The clan of volunteers who tend to gardens twice a week say that there is little point in involving the police.

Now he hopes to shame the culprits to stop the thief and turn the stolen bulbs.

Bob Lord, president of friends Ballard Water Meadow, described the documents as “sad, selfish and without thoughts.”

He said: “We have a group of about 15 volunteers who go there twice a week to make the place look better for the community.

“It is a well -cared site, but some people are exception from the work we do and try to destroy it.

“Our habitat journal piles that we put to attract mushrooms and other wild animals were taken by people to use them for wooden burners at home.

“The journals were small enough to be transported.

“Some of our signaling and posters were thrown into the bushes. Posters are observations that ask people not to wander from the path into forested areas and risk soaking on flowers like blue.

“Not someone did not come under the cover of darkness and dug snowstands.

“We returned to find a small hole in the ground where they were. It’s theft. It takes something that belongs to someone else without permission.

“It is the second time that happened to us. These people have to wish them only for their gardens.

“I know that some varieties of snow can be quite expensive, but I don’t think they were ours.

“I didn’t report it to the police, I’m sure they had better things to deal with.

“We are just calling on people to stop this and we can return what they have stolen.”

Ballard Water Meadow consists of seven acres of meadows and four forest acres.

The volunteer band tends to the Nature Reserve in the name of New Milton Local Council.
