But be aware of the dangers lying around for your four-legged friends.
Every day garden plants and fertlizers can make your cats and dogs very ill, if ingested.
Check out the pages below for some of the most common toxic things in UK gardens, and check out the links below for what to do incase of poisoning.

9. Bluebells
All parts of this plant contain a toxin that can affect the heart, but it’s rare for dogs to eat enough to cause these effects. Within a few hours of eating, dogs may be sick, have stomach pains or can have an upset stomach, which may contain streaks of blood. If enough is eaten, the toxin in the bluebells may cause the dog’s heart to beat very quickly or very slowly. | Visit Fylde Coast Photo: Visit Fylde Coast
10. Compost
Mouldy foods can contain lots of different toxins and, if eaten, may make your dog ill. One particular substance, which is mostly found on mouldy dairy products, bread and nuts, can cause dogs to quickly develop muscle tremors and seizures, which may last for up to two days. If you compost your food scraps, then make sure that they are kept outside in a sealed container that your dog cannot access. | submit Photo: Submitted
11. Toads
Toads secrete venom from glands found on their skin that can be poisonous to pets that bite them, pick them up in their mouth or lick them. Toads are most active in warmer months and may be more easily found by your dog after rain or at dawn or dusk. The toads' venom can cause irritation in the mouth, leading to apparent pain, salivation and pawing at the mouth. In more severe cases it can cause behavioural changes (the dog being wobbly on its legs, appearing disorientated or anxious), increased breathing, heart rate changes and fits. Toads commonly eat slugs and snails and therefore could be a source of lungworm for dogs. | Submit Photo: Submitted
12. Sweet Peas
According to Pet Poison Helpline, tThe sweet pea, or Lathyrus, contains amino acids and a toxin called aminoproprionitrite. When ingested, it can cause neurological and musculoskeletal signs including weakness, lethargy, tremors and seizures. Typically, this is more commonly seen in large animals chronically grazing on sweet pea. Photo: Submitted
