That greenhouse in Portland with the 'no kids allowed' sign made me laugh

Went to the Hoyt Arboretum conservatory last Saturday and saw a sign that literally said 'if you let your kid touch this plant, we'll ask you to leave' and honestly I wish more places had that energy, am I wrong?

I get the frustration with wild kids (trust me, I've been there) but a blanket 'no kids allowed' feels a bit much for a public greenhouse. Kids learn by touching stuff, and if you're banning all kids instead of just the ones running wild, you're shutting out families who might actually teach their kids to be careful. Seems like a better sign would just say 'please supervise your children' or something less aggressive.
