10 garden plants that are safe for cats
These garden plants that are safe for cats will make great additions to a pet-friendly backyard, and they will look and smell great too
These plants that are safe for cats are worth growing to create a sensory experience for your feline friend, but they're also beautiful and impactful from the gardener's point of view. From easy-to-grow flowers like sunflowers to perennial shrubs and herbaceous plants, there's a good variety of plants to choose from if you are concerned for your cat's safety when spending time outdoors.
Avoiding plants that are toxic to cats is essential to prevent stomach upsets and visits to the vet, but enhancing your cat's outdoor time with plants they like sniffing and/or nibbling on is even better. Sit back, relax, and enjoy backyard time spent in the company of your pet.
Note: Do remember that when we talk about garden plants in this article, we mean whole, growing plants – not dried and definitely not essential oils, most of which will be toxic to your pet. The exception is lavender: this plant is usually safe for cats in its dried form, but not as a fresh plant.
