Better late than never. I just put up a post (Part I). This was a great idea for a meme. Links are always welcome, Sweet Bay. I glad you joined us this month. Here's a direct link to Pets in the Garden Part I. -Nan

This is an awesome post, Monica! I added to you the wrap-up post. I hope you get lots of visitors; you did a beautiful job with the garden.

Nan,
I don’t have a pet. Nor want one, but here’s an idea I saw on Garden Walk and thought dog owners might appreciate.

Terrific, Jim. Thanks for sharing these images and ideas from Garden Walk Buffalo!

I’ve got my post up about our memorial garden for our cat Amber.

I’m sure that wasn’t easy for you to write, Dave, but I do appreciate you sharing the story of Amber’s garden with us.

Hi Nan, I’m just sqeaking in before the end of the month with my post because I’d forgotten about it until Frances’ post the other day reminded me. Here’s my link:

Thanks for sharing this fun gallery of your feline friends, Kerri. (I particularly love your little “fence hugger!)

I’ve really enjoyed ready what people have shared. Love the whole idea of designing around pets in the garden.
We don’t have a large yard or a large dog, but we still have kept her in mind as we setup areas of our yard and the plants we put in.
Here’s the link to my design:

Welcome, Catherine! Your pup is such a cutie, she deserves a special and safe place to play.

Hi,

OK, I didn’t really need an excuse, but here’s the latest re Skimble and Jess:

BTW on Friday (27th Feb) I’m launching a quarterly meme re public planting. I’ve been writing about this for a while and garnered quite a bit of response. So ‘Out on the Streets’ is an opportunity for people to have a say about public planting in their own neighbourhood. Hope to see you there

Thanks, VP! I’ll be over for a visit soon.

Hi Nan: Of course I had to post about my dogs, an integral part of my garden even though they don’t really affect the design all that much. http://www.remarc.com/craig/?p=587 Thanks again for hosting.

I’d hoped that we’d hear from you on this one, Craig. Many thanks for the link!

Several years back, I researched and designed a garden for cats at a no-kill cat shelter. I could write about that! (Wish me luck; I still haven’t posted my experience helping plant a green roof and that was in May ‘08!).

That sounds like a neat story, Monica. Please do leave us a link whenever you get to write the post!

Hi Nan, I so wanted to join in with your workshop and had to put on the old thinking cap again to come up with something. Sort of an adaptation.

You always rise to the challenge, Frances. Thanks so much!
