lawns and flowers: January 2009 Archives

I just wanted to update a post I published last week about my search for kid-safe plants.
On Friday, I received another call from a Travis County Master Gardener -- this time from a woman who had previously volunteered in the garden for the Ronald McDonald House in Houston. She made several suggestions right out of the Austin and Central Texas Grow Green Guide, saying they would all be good choices around toddlers.
Here are her suggestions:

• Purple Coneflower


• Ruellia


• Sage -- all kinds


• Copper Canyon Daisy


• Shrimp Plant


• Winecup


• Yarrow


• Verbena

So, it looks like I have a few options to offer the teacher, in addition to the Mexican oregano and other herbs I already came up with.
