I want to put some plants in to cover a very dull fence. I have young
children and am looking for something non-toxic & decorative. I know the
beans of scarlet runner beans are edible, but what about the flowers? Are
these child friendly plants? Any other suggestions? My children are always
supervised when outdoors, but you can never be too careful.

Probably no one knows whether the flowers are edible. But since you
brought up the topic, perhaps you should consider the bees, too. Where
there are flowers, there will usually be bees, and honey bees are not
noted for their tolerance of inquisitive children.
