RottieMommy is an unknown quantity at this point
When I design something where small children or animals will have access to gardens and the landscape, I shy away from poisonous stuff. Mostly because I never forgive myself if I suggested they plant something and it harms, or worse kills, their kid or their pet. I just don't trust people enough to know they would watch their kids or animals outside....all it takes is a minute or two with their backs turned.

If someone asks for a plant that I know is poisonous and they have critters or little ones running around, I definitely call it to their attention that the plant is toxic.
