Le jardinet Is that the golden Catalpa which gets that big bellabottoms or the species? This garden is in the Seattle area, WA and the golden Catalpa can often be purchased as a multi stemmed shrub or more treelike on a single stout trunk but is much less vigorous than the 'ordinary' one either way.

Le jardinet Liquidscapes, I can see shade loving plants - was this also a wet site? Was that why you decided to add hardscape?

emg609 I'm in Chicago and mine are wonderful performers. I favor the low growing cranesbill. They are a lovely ground cover.

Le jardinet photos are featured in an ideabook: Garden Alert: 22 Plants to Keep Away From Pets

cateye Living Exteriors - The ASPCA lists death as a clinical sign for some toxic plants. For others it doesn't. For example, the clinical signs for sago palm are "Vomiting, melena, icterus, increased thirst, hemorrhagic gastroenteritis, bruising, coagulopathy, liver damage, liver failure, death", and for gardenia it lists "Mild vomiting and/or diarrhea, hives." You can see the clnical signs by searching plants at http://www.aspca.org/pet-care/poison-control/
Here are a couple of lists where the authors tried to list some of the worst offenders:

michellehouse12 Thanks for this information. My male basset hound loves hosta, and that seems to be about it--and we have many of the plants mentioned here in our yard. I've had to completely fence off the area of my backyard that is growing my hosta plants, otherwise he'll eat them down to the ground.

rebekahhamon I love this bush, but am concerned with how it looks in winter, as we live in a mid-century modern house with largewindows that looks out on our garden. Would this tree do well under large evergreen trees (pine/fir)? Open shade - but it's pretty dry.

Le jardinet An Alluring StrollPlantings and pathway blend easily in this picture-perfect scene. One is naturally drawn to the partially obscured stacked stone sculpture yet also wants to linger on this delightful meandering path.The color palette focuses on shades of purple provided by 'Beni Otake' Japanese maple (Acer palmatum 'Beni Otake') and 'Velvet Cloak' smokebush (Cotinus coggygria 'Velvet Cloak').The chartreuse foliage of 'Mellow Yellow' spirea (Spiraea thunbergii 'Ogon'), 'Golden Spirit' smokebush (Cotinus coggygria 'Golden Spirit') and Bowles' golden sedge (Carex elata 'Aurea') adds high contrast, taking center stage.Rhododendrons add rich magenta accents, while black mondo grass (Ophiopogon planiscapus 'Nigrescens') adds deeper black notes.Key plants and colors are repeated on alternate sides of the pathway, luring you deeper and deeper into the dappled glade.

Derviss Design Rosiew, the existing asphalt driveway and motor court was demolished and we poured a new exposed aggregate concrete surface. While installing the form boards we cut out the pattern for the swirling arc , the concrete was poured around it. Later after the concrete was cured and exposed we hand laid the pebble mosaic. Photo attached.
