Some garden favorites can be toxic to humans or pets. Knowing them can help you garden safely:
Poison Ivy & Poison Oak Cause skin irritation.
Foxglove & Oleander Beautiful but dangerously toxic if ingested.
Azalea & Nightshade Can cause nausea and confusion.
Stinging Nettle Irritates on contact.
Jimsonweed & Mistletoe Both harmful even 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.
