The Big Idea

Berries in a yard can look yummy! But some are dangerous. Why should a grown-up always check first?

Look-Alikes

Step one: Look-Alikes. Some wild and garden plants are poisonous, and many look like safe ones. Even small amounts of some berries and leaves can make a person very sick.

Grown-Up Check

Step two: Grown-Up Check. Only a knowledgeable grown-up can be sure what a plant is. That's why you should never taste anything from outside without asking first.

If It Happens

Step three: If It Happens. If you ever eat something by mistake, tell a grown-up right away so they can call poison control. When in doubt, don't taste it.
