I love this website; it shows a lot of good detail: http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/
Reply:Why not pay a visit to your local Garden Centre. Ask them if they would be willing to come to your house and identify some plants for you. I own a Garden Centre and I do this on a regular basis. I also tell customers when and how to prune if it's needed. These customers tend to call back when they need something.





Once you know the names of the plants then you can visit the RHS site and look through their list of poisonous plants. It's better to do it this way as some safe plants can look the same as poisonous plants and you could end up digging out the safe ones and leaving in the poisonous ones.


Hope this helps you.
Reply:If you know that little about plants and you are really concerned about the children you are minding, forget websites.


Hire a landscaper who is capable of identifying everything and who can explain it to you in terms you understand. If (s)he can't identify it or explain it to you so you understand it, have it torn out and (maybe) replaced with something you do understand.


There really are no "shortcuts" when it comes to protecting children.


Either you KNOW it's safe, or it isn't.
