UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS COLLEGE OF VETERINARY MEDICINE Poisonous Plant Garden T he University of Illinois College of Veterinary Medicine Poisonous Plant Garden is student conceived and operated. For over 20 years it has served to educate veterinarians, students (elementary through college), and the general public. The garden is located on the northwest corner of the College of Veterinary Medicine campus (adjacent to St. Mary’s Road). It contains over ninety species of plants native to Illinois or commonly used as ornamentals or house plants. These plants are potentially hazardous to a range of animal species including humans. The garden is managed by 1 or 2 students, selected yearly, and a college faculty advisor. These students provide the planning and labor required for spring planting, garden management through the summer, and fall cleanup. It is the student curators’ energy, dedication and enthusiasm that have been the hallmark and primary force behind the garden’s success. A guided tour for students or other groups may be arranged in advance. Questions, suggestions and requests for additional information should be directed to: Dr. Michael Biehl, Faculty Advisor (217) 244-4649 biehlml@illinois.edu Poisonous Plant Garden Student Curators Founding Student Curator: Paula Bratich 1992–1993 1993–1994 1994–1995 1995–1996 1996–1997 1997–1998 1998–1999 Wendy Grethen David Curbo George Langan Bryan McGoldrick Michael Sanborn Kim Carlson Jamie Kenyon 2000–2001 2001–2002 2002–2003 2003–2004 2004–2005 2005–2006 2006–2007 Maria Cotner Rob Swinger Rebecca Dieter Marianne Krumdick Jill Horton Edward Holub Ashley Elzerman 2007–2008 2008–2009 2009–2010 2010–2011 2011–2012 2012–2013 Richard Hill Kelly Spence Paul Meade Lisa Sebree Jason Kennell Lindsey Preston Anna Stobnicki Important Information DO NOT HANDLE OR CONSUME ANY PARTS OF PLANTS IN THE GARDEN. In order to keep children and pets safe, be sure they remain under adult supervision. If a poisonous plant is consumed by a person or pet you should: 1. Obtain a sample including all parts of the plant. 2. Estimate the quantity eaten. 3. Estimate frequency and duration of exposure, and time of onset and nature of clinical signs. 4. Contact a physician or veterinarian immediately (see Additional Resources). Note: The toxic effects of plants vary with the health status, age, and species of the individual affected. Time of year, humidity, growth conditions, and growth stage, among other factors, influence a plant’s toxicity. Additional Resources To Give Your Support For further information regarding potentially poisonous plants please refer to the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center website at aspca.org/pet-care/poison-control The progress and maintenance of the garden is primarily made possible through donations of money, seeds, plants, equipment, supplies, time and advice. If an animal has been exposed to a poisonous plant, contact the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center at (888) 426-4435. Please make your contribution in support of the garden by: 1. Donating online at vetmed.illinois.edu/ advancement/giving.html by selecting Poisonous Plant Garden Fund for your donation destination, or 2. Sending a check with your contribution to: University of Illinois Foundation Harker Hall 1305 West Green Street Urbana, IL 61801 Please note on the lower left of your check that it is for the UI Poisonous Plant Garden See the list of previous donors in the back of this brochure. Thank You! If the animal is experiencing significant clinical distress call the University of Illinois College of Veterinary Medicine Emergency Room at (217) 333-5300. If a human has been exposed to a poisonous plant, contact the Illinois Poison Control Center at (800) 222-1222.
