Clue 2 | 2021 Pepsi Marigold Medallion Hunt

 Clue 2


Stay away from manicured landscaping
Respect for the work caretakers employ
If it looks carefully laid-out and vulnerable
Please be caring and don’t destroy.

Life leaves us so many directives
Sending you this way or that.
It doesn’t really matter,
Whether you stood or if you sat.
