In the spirit of spring coming to Texas soon, many of us are starting to plan out what we want to add to our gardens, flower beds, or even inside to brighten up the home.

There are so many beautiful plants out there to add color, texture, and dimension to any space. From bright florals to bold greenery, something about having plants around simply boosts everyone’s moods.

Thankfully, there are also some plants that are completely safe for pets and won’t cause a fuss.
