All plants we use are non poisionous. They have to be, because the lawyers will eat you alive.

In our service area in the last 2 years , we have had 2 young children fall into water features / ponds and drown. One was behind a fence with an un locked gate and the other had open access. We had a client who had a Yorkshire terrier that fell into a pond we built and almost drowned. She fished the dog out and then complained there was no way for the dog to get out. We ended up building a ramp in case the dumb animal fell in again.

After those incedent's, we had our lawyer draft a release / warning / information for any homeowner who we install a pond for. They have to sign off on about 7 different points to make sure they understand and accept all liability for having a pond in their back yard.
