Gardening is my passion. Lawnmowers, pots, seeds and tools, watering cans and hoses too, trowels, clippers, gloves and boots, sun and rain then flowers and bugs.
There are so many beautiful flowers and shrubs to pick from. I will share animal friendly plants first & a plant to be aware of.
The “SAGO” palm tree is deadly to dogs. Dogs can be near : Dill, Marigolds, Purple Basil, Sunflowers Rosemary, and Snapdragons.
Cats can be near: Catnip, Sunflowers, Cucumbers, Squash and Pumpkins.
Plants which ward off mosquitoes are: Basil, Catnip, Lavender, Marigolds, Peppermint, Rosemary and Sage are suggested by all. I am a mosquito feeding object so please let me know what ypou feel works for you.
Hummingbirds and Butterflies love: Salvia, Penta, Bee Balm, Lantana and Butterfly Bushes.
Disclaimer: These are all plants and herbs I have found to work with my dogs and neighborhood cats. See what works for your dog and cat and be aware of what could make them sick. We are all different beings and animals are no different. Something could make one animal sick and not the other.
