Are foxgloves and oleander really bad plants to have planted in a small backyard if the person has young children? like a 6yr old and a new born.

I read they are poisonous, but so are tons of other plants, but if the kids smell the flowers it could go bad right?

I guess the only flowers grown around here are covered in trichs.

Thanks, I will make sure they plant them in a guarded area or to wait til they are older.

also found this...All of its parts are very poisonous. For example, one leaf is enough to cause death and
Oleander is one of the most poisonous plants in the world and contains numerous toxic compounds, many of which can be deadly to people, especially young children. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oleander#Toxicity

mentioned it around some gardeners and I got some strong recommendo's to no poisonous plants in a 30x40 back yard with kids play equipment in it.
