So, last year I was shown a list of plants not to be grown in school. This included potatoes and tomatoes.
Discussed with teacher. We both agreed spuds & toms fine, so long as the risks were explained to children, and they are all told, all the time, not to pick or eat anything without express permission from a responsible adult.
I've found lists from the RHS and several different local authorities that have variously included strawberries, horse chestnut, French beans, rhubarb, comfrey, dicentra, daffodils and tulips on the banned lists.
RoSPa used to do a poster of poisonous plants. I can't find it now, or anything like it. Do any of you have, or have seen, such a thing? It would save me a lot of grief.
