Bad Plants For Animals

We have been working hard to get to the planting plant part of the greenhouse. With that said we have been researching the plants not to use in the confined separated spaces. The list is far shorter for toxic plants than edible plants when turtles are involved.

Share your animals favorite plant species! Share photos of your plants. Share a method that keeps bad plants from your pets. Or a great way to give good plants… so we can all supply the best nutritional values.
