Did you know Monty is creating a garden inspired by his dogs for the Chelsea Flower Show next year? He's talking about it today on Radio 2 with Zoe Ball. I think it's all about sharing the space with your four legged friend.
Intriguing for those with dogs.

It was in the middle of Gardeners World, Monty said they are having a garden at Chelsea next year, designed as suitable for dogs and Ned is helping with the design. Afterwards the garden will be dismantled and given to Battersea Dog’s Home. It won’t be entered for any medals. So many plants are poisonous to dogs it will be a really interesting concept - for dogs and their owners anyway.

Thank goodness for that, a friend of mine who is and always was very dog conscious mishandled hers badly.
Sadly she lost two of her dogs who chewed on toxic plants she had. Many people learned from her tragedy but so many have no idea.

Yes I saw this and would really love to go and see it - I have dogs and it would be interesting to see how its been created with dogs in mind. Love Monty and his adorable sidekicks Ned and Patti, plus the much missed Nellie and Nigel.
At our previous house we had a plum tree and while plums are fine for dogs, we had a young pup who loved eating them but also ate the stones which can be poisonous and can block their intestines - ended up being fenced off so they couldn't eat the windfalls !
