Max's Garden

Making a non toxic and dog safe garden for Max, our inquisitive Welsh Springer Spaniel, was not as easy as it should have been, with conflicting and often incomplete information online.

Over the past 2 years we have removed the most dangerous plants and planted safer replacements, while recognizing that many mildly toxic plants are unlikely to be a problem unless eaten in quantity.

When Max is happily running round nearby woods and fields, it is also useful to know which of the wild plants and garden escapes pose the most risk.

We have tried to be as accurate as we can but please get in touch if you spot an error!

We take no responsibility for the completeness or accuracy of the lists, information and links herein.

Meet Max!
