Keeping Pets Safe in your “Fall” Garden
|
 |
As our busy summer winds down, it’s time to put our gardens “to bed.” Fall gardens pose many dangers to dogs that might be overlooked since we don’t frequent them as often this time of year. However, dogs will use their yard regardless of the season, weather, or time of day. |

Pet Hazards in the Garden
|
 |
It’s finally time to get outside and garden again! There is nothing more exciting than seeing spring blooms, hearing birds sing, and enjoying longer days. But while taking in what Mother Nature has to offer, we must protect our pets from the many hazards lurking in the garden.

Coyotes in your Neighborhood?
I'm baffled! In Colorado - and perhaps in your state - coyotes have been in the news for numerous reasons. Namely, it has been reported that they’ve been stalking and harming humans, especially children and dog walkers. For decades I have always “shared” my dog walks with coyotes and have never experienced any problems. Never! |

Toxic Plants
As a landscape designer for over twenty years, I understand the positive response humans have toward plants. Plants are not only beautiful, but they clean our air, provide shade, and have a calming affect on us. |

A Vegetable Garden for Dogs!
Most people want to prevent their dogs from entering their gardens. However, my clients are unique (and wonderful!) because they actually want to share their gardens with their dogs. Since dogs use the backyard more than any other family member, I developed a landscape company that creates backyards based on canine habits—both good and not-so-good. |
