Some garden favorites can be toxic to humans or pets. Heres what to watch out for:
Poison Ivy & Poison Oak Skin irritants
Foxglove & Oleander Beautiful but dangerously toxic
Azalea & Nightshade Cause nausea and confusion
Stinging Nettle Irritates on contact
Jimsonweed & Mistletoe Harmful in small amounts
Poinsettia, Giant Hogweed, Wild Parsnip May irritate skin or eyes
Always label plants and teach kids and pets to avoid unknown foliage.
