A pet-friendly garden can still look beautiful and considered.

Start with safety, strong planting and clear routes through the space.

Check plants first

Avoid plants that are unsafe for pets. Choose sturdy varieties that can cope with daily life.

Keep paths clear

Work with the routes pets already use. Open paths help the garden stay neater.

Add shade and washable pieces

A shady corner, washable cushions and raised planters make the garden easier to share.
