One of the many perks of not having kids ;) Although when I was young, my mother had a couple of very poisonous specimens in the garden. We were warned not to mess with them and we didn't
Now I have to ask: what about animals? Is there ever a concern about animals eating poisonous plants? Do they naturally know better? Our property isn't fenced in, and the neighbor's dog sometimes crosses the treeline into our property. I would hate to plant something super pretty, only to harm their dog.
Adult dogs don't usually chew on plants. Puppies are another story, though. Poisonous plants are mostly a danger to grazing livestock. Goats and sheep will often eat plants like this and die from it
