If you’re trying to tear your kids away from their 100th episode of Bluey or drawing yet another ‘masterpiece’ on your white walls, sending them out into the garden for fresh air probably sounds like a good idea.

Yes, while you may dream of five minutes’ peace as your kids make daisy chains and bake mud pies in the garden, the reality is that many garden ideas can be dangerous for kids. Just as there are many pet-poisonous plants to avoid, many poisonous plants can prove deadly if ingested (or even touched) by curious children.
