Commonly Available Plants that may be poisonous or cause other allergic reactions. This is not an exhaustive list, nor does it contain all poisonous plants. It offers a list of the more commonly available plants and identifies the possible precautions and effects which should be noted when dealing with them or considering them for your garden. We will be grateful to anyone who can help us to improve the range of this list for others to be aware of the possible effects.
