Planning to add to your garden this spring?

We all love spring and adding new plants to our gardens so we wanted to post a reminder to double check to be sure the plants you select are safe for pets and kids! Pets getting sick or dying from toxic plants is far more common than we could ever imagine!
They don't even have to eat the plant or seed to get sick! The poison oil from a trimmed or broken branch / leaf that they rub against can enter the blood stream....
Here is a great reference by the ASPCA. It lists many toxic plants.
