The most bountiful gardens often have the highest number of seasonal visitors – and we’re not just talking about your next-door neighbor! Every successful gardener wants to welcome helpful insects to their garden and bar the troublemakers. But how can you keep your garden safe from damaging pests without compromising the safety of your harvest? …
Fleas, ticks, mosquitoes, ants, mice and more can be a major nuisance both in and outside of your home. Luckily, if you’ve got a knack for gardening, cooking or landscaping, you can design a pest-repellant yard that is both beautiful and multi-functional. But what about man’s best friend (dogs) and man’s cool-but-standoffish roommate (cats)? Plants like Citronella, Eucalyptus and Tansy that are known for the pest-repelling properties are also toxic to dogs and cats. Don’t worry! You can still repel pests safely and naturally with pet-safe plants.
