DESCRIPTION:Creating a pet-friendly garden can sometimes be a challenge in our homes and landscapes. We love our plants and our pets\, but sometimes they don’t mix. We will explore the various plants that we keep in our homes and our landscapes\, some of which may cause potential harm to our non-human family members. Many popular plants contain toxins that can cause mild irritation or be potentially life threatening. \nJoin us for this informative seminar as we opt for plants known to be safe for pets\, placement of those plants\, and having rooms/outdoor areas dedicated to plants ‘off limits’ to our pets. Join us as the speaker balances a love of plants with a safe environmental awareness for our pets. \n>>> GET TICKETS <<<
