Pet-Friendly Landscaping

If you’re both an animal lover and a plant enthusiast, this presentation is designed with you in mind. Join us as we explore how everyday gardening practices can support the pets who share your outdoor space.

We’ll dig into topics like lawn care, mulch choices, plant selection, and more. You’ll learn how to create an attractive, functional yard that’s also safe for curious companions who love to sniff, nibble, and explore.

Whether you’ve caught your pet chomping on a leaf, investigating a flower, or chasing backyard wildlife, this session will help you understand what’s harmless fun and what could pose a risk.
