A healthy garden is a place where any plant that is grown thrives. But while some plants are poisonous, others can adversely affect our health. Some gardening methods do not benefit us or the plants in the long term. There are alternatives to using chemicals in the garden, and our health and that of the wildlife will benefit if we turn to them whenever possible. If we follow the natural order then we can live in harmony with the flora and the fauna and support each other.

We can choose as many plants for our garden as we please, but some of the plants we love can cause a great deal of distress for asthma sufferers. Some plants can even cause dermatitis (skin allergy) when touched.
