I cannot find any reference to Sarcococca ruscifolia on any list of poisonous plants. However, just because a plant is not listed as poisonous doesn't mean it is edible. I'd caution the children not to consume the berries. Here's a helpful website from Cornell Univeristy if you're ever concerned about the toxicity of a plant: http://www.ansci.cornell.edu/p...

Best wishes with your garden!
