My family and I have been gardening for over 40 years and have rarely found any of the dangers you mention here.Being aware of your surroundings and taking simple precautions are necessary, as with everyday life. I am sure that travelling on our roads is much more dangerous
Hi Junea, I totally agree - with simple precautions, gardening is a great activity. The photo of the brown snake was taken in my front yard. Cheers, Gail
