How Do You Create A Dog Friendly Garden?
For gardeners with pets, one of the challenges is to create a garden space that you can enjoy and your dog won’t destroy. Creating a dog friendly garden can be an easy task if you keep in mind your dog’s habits, instincts and health. With a little planning, you can create a garden that you both love to be in together. Design your garden to meet your dog’s needs, such as providing room to run and play and choosing plants that are not harmful to dogs. This will help avoid injury to your dog and provide a space that you can both enjoy. Create paths made of mulch, wood planks or smooth flagstone. These materials will be easy on your dog’s feet and will give him a designated pathway to use for walking and patrolling the garden. Try to incorporate the dog’s natural route into these paths. Make borders of driftwood or other materials to discourage your dog from entering planted areas. You can also use raised beds or small fences to discourage your pet. Use dog friendly plants in your garden.
