I've been wondering about this. Baby is currently way too small to go rummaging in the garden, but we have quite a few toxic plants.
The way I see it though, there are so many toxic plants around, not just in our garden but all over the place, that there's no point grubbing out our foxgloves when what we really need to do is instill the lesson to never eat plants unless you know they are safe.

This photo is apparently from Dorset

I have some in the ground. If they survive the winter (Bristol, sheltered urban garden), they ought to flower next year. I've seen one in flower a few streets down.
So yes, they can, but I think they are borderline hardy so may need protection in a bad winter.
Have seen photos of them looking incredible in Cornwall.

Or go mad with tree echiums. Good to have some drama!

My verbena bonariensis are more like 4ft at the moment, but not really a back of the border plant as they're so light and airy. What about salvias or echinaceas?
I would also make the most of the fence by training climbers all the way along.
And something like nasturtiums to trail over the front?

Solicitors. Think they will have had to have gas for letting it out, not sure about electricity. Think boiler and gas is the same thing?

Incredible! My very carefully raised ones are not quite out yet

Y'all need to watch the film Into Eternity, it is incredible

It's not just that it's sterile, Bocking 14 was supposedly the best out of Bockings 1,2,3 etc. Some guy (called Bocking? In a place called Bocking? I can't remember) did a test. But I'm sure normal comfrey is 90% as good.
I get this, but there's not just foxgloves, there's daffodils, lily of the valley, yew, wisteria, crocuses, rhubarb leaves, rhododendrons, obviously many mushrooms, most woodland plants, conkers, daphnes, delphiniums, most umbellifers, many houseplants, snowdrops, hellebores, ivy and probably a hundred more that you would find in your local park or the front gardens in your street.
