I have a neighbor with a ton of beautiful foxgloves growing along the border of my garden. They're currently going to seed, and I'm wondering if I should be worried that the seeds might blow into my garden and harm my pets while they play there.

Nah, you really don’t need to stress about foxglove seeds. Plants like these are pretty common in the UK, and most animals instinctively know not to eat them. I live on farmland, and we have foxgloves everywhere—none of my animals have ever been affected by them. Even the sheep that find creative ways to hurt themselves steer clear of them!
Totally agree! If people knew how many toxic plants are around us every day, they’d be way more cautious about everything out there, not just foxgloves. It’s surprising how we all survive with so much around us!
