I am getting ready to make my final seed and planting choices for my garden. However as an pet owner I take the time to make sure that the plants I choose are not toxic to my animals. If I do decide on any plants that might be toxic I will plant them in an area that my pets will not have access to.
There are any number of lists that are out on the internet or available from your Veterinarian or your local plant nursery. However the Humane Society puts out a fairly concise and easy to use chart. Remember to take the time to check to make sure you are not endangering your pets or small children. Although a garden is a place of great beauty ad peace it can also be very dangerous.
