Aconite is a well-known poison, but did you know that those beautiful flowering plants, Morning Glory and Lupin are also poisonous plants? People simply don't know enough about poisonous plants, even though they may be handling them regularly in the garden. And why would they know, if they haven't been taught at school?Should plant suppliers take more responsibility for educating gardeners, maybe putting warning labels on plant pots; is this something schools should be teaching, along with morality, science and nutrition?Perhaps there could be poisonous plant charts in doctors' surgeries, pharmacies and garden centres.Just a thought.
