“DOGSCAPING: CREATING A PET FRIENDLY GARDEN”- Our pets are an
integral part of our everyday lives and family. It can be a challenge
for gardeners to balance a healthy, safe and beautiful garden with the
needs of their pets. This lecture will focus on how to make your garden
safe and enjoyable for both your dogs (and cats) and their human
companions. Helpful ideas will be presented such as using safe, durable
surfaces and materials, reducing landscape wear and tear, avoiding toxic
plants, using containers effectively and even growing fruits, vegetables
and herbs that can be used as edible treats for your pets.
