Here are some general tips that might help if you have a dog that likes to nibble on plants:<br />• Build raised flower and vegetable beds.<br /><br />• If you have a large yard, consider creating a fenced pet friendly area and restrict them to it.<br /><br />• Alternately, enclose your garden with a fence that will keep pets at a safe distance. A friend of mine has a lovely formal garden that is fenced and gated in her large open backyard.<br /><br />• Consider netting or chicken wire to keep your pet away from problem plants.<br /><br />• Train your dog. Praise him or her when he or she responds to firm correction.Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00116583212813729057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7116278351699614429.post-35999487692564286982018-08-11T12:56:45.117-07:002018-08-11T12:56:45.117-07:00Beautiful garden!

I have found though that the native coral honeysuckle will tolerate quite a bit of shade if someone wants to plant a honeysuckle in a shady spot as long as it is planted under deciduous trees. Mine gets plenty of sun all spring, fall and winter when the leaves are less.Donnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13420133886162844400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7116278351699614429.post-38968302218737349292014-06-27T22:25:17.219-07:002014-06-27T22:25:17.219-07:00What a beautiful garden!

But then as you made your way further into the yard, and along the flagstone paths and past waterfalls, well, just amazing! Beautiful photography, and as always such knowledgeable snippets on the individual plants. Every year I'm more and more in love with peonies, and these photos show their beauty so well :) Enjoy your weekend!

But I had to design it around dogs and a garden-resistant husband. This garden is just beautiful.
