list of poisonous plants

: I know that lots of plants are described as "poisonous" when in fact they just give you a bit of a bad tummy, whilst others can be fatal. I have small children so am trying to rid the garden of anythign fatal to them but do not mind the "bad tummy" plants. Does anyone know where I can find out just how poisonous plants are? Am especially interested in Daphnes as I'd love to have one but have avoided getting one as they seem "very poisonous" but I am not sure of this. Also please let me know of any common plant which is fatal to children - I know of Lords and Ladies (Acorus calamus ) and nightshade but am not sure of others. (I also know that I can tell them not to eat anything but that does not work in a garden full of raspberries etc - they know that they can eat some stuff ) Are you also going to make sure they never go for a walk in the countryside because they might find exactly those things? And don't forget to prevent them going into the garden until after you've checked there aren't any fungi growing (ergot and cordyceps militaris being two of the lesser known but more entertaining examples Can't wrap them in cotton wool forever, even though I know that particular temptation. |
