you need to teach kids not to eat ANY plants unless they are certain they are edible.
Lol. It depends on your kids nature.
I'd never worry about my youngest, but my eldest is different. I've explained which plants are herbs from infancy, but even at 5yo you have to keep half an eye on them. I lost it yesterday as they put a bottle of glitter in their mouth.

I have a toddler and grow foxgloves.
People always single out foxgloves as toxic but the truth is you need to teach kids not to eat ANY plants unless they are certain they are edible.
Daffodils can be fatal, so can hyacinths. Yews are absolutely everywhere and incredibly toxic. Privet, ivy, crocuses.... Rhododendrons. The leaves on tomatoes or rhubarb. And so on.
