Flower Power

Hi Guys, hope you all had a great weekend. I spent it planting flowers and shrubs in the garden, then Dusty decided it was time for a snack and started trying to eat some Appart from annoying me is there any problem with her eating flowers and plants or is she clever enough to know which ones are good for her and which are not?

It's def avoiding it if you are unsure if they are harmless or not.

There was a topic done a while ago I've found for you that lists out the dangerous ones

I'd keep a close eye on her, myself, just in case they are bad for her.

The link has good info and remember that pesticides that are sprayed onto plants can also be harmful

Thanks for that, just checked and she goes after two of those listed so will defo stop her chewing them.

No problem. Always worth checking

I checked our garden recently and found that about 3/4 of the plants in it can make animals sick to varying degrees so we ban all plant chewing/playing to be on the safe side ... it is a lot easier said than done though

Luckily we only have grass in our garden
