Check out these websites:
[url]Poisonous plants. List of poisonous, harmful and dangerous garden plants - Gardenseeker.com[/url]
[url]Poisonous Plants FAQ - The Kids Garden[/url]
Actually, any local garden centre should be able to help you out (I wouldn't bother with the 'bigger' garden warehouse style companies - some of the staff are clueless!)
I've never really worried about poisonous plants, but have bought both my girls up with a healthy respect for what's happening in the garden. Also, unlike some of my friends, I did not fill in the garden pond, but instead made it into a focal point for wildlife/observation - the only person who fell in was my father - who quite frankly should have known better - and once we had picked ourselves up off the floor, and dried poor Grandad off, turned it into an educational opportunity for how not to behave around water!
i did try asking them in homebase :rolleyes: but like you said they were clueless ha i must get out to ny local one maybe they could be more helpfull,i think we could all do with a grandad like yours lol must have been a very funny sight 🙂

Thank you for posting those links. My son has got the kids interested in planting seeds and plants, mostly fruit and veg but flowers too. I think he will find them interesting and useful.
