Poisonous Plants
Some people get very worried by 'Poisonous Plants'

As with many garden plants such as Buttercups,(Ranunculus) Daffodil bulbs, Privet, Rhododendrons, Sweetpeas, all green parts of the Potato, Tomato, Apple, Peach and of the Rhubarb, the following plants contained in this site should not be consumed:

Hydrangeas, Iris, Lobelia, Digitalis, Aconitum, Nerium, Solanum,
Lupinus, Brugmansia.

However the risks of accidental poisoning are infinitesimally small. Indeed, on a nature ramble through the British Countryside you will encounter many wild plants, such as Buttercups, Ivy, Solanum, Wild Poppy and Holly which also should not be eaten.

We would also like to remind gardeners that care should be taken when handling some other plants, especially when the time comes to prune them, as the sap contained in their stems may cause irritation, two notable genera are

Ruta and Euphorbia
