A Pet-Safe Plant from Talula Fields General Store

Pet people love to take care of things – can’t get another dog? Get a plant!

Talula Fields is one of my absolute favourite KW spots. If you haven’t checked it out yet, make it a 2022 goal! The store is gorgeous and the plant advice is always top-notch. I say this as someone who knows ABSOLUTELY NOTHING about plants and is able to keep things alive with help from Talula Fields. Not only that, they love dogs and would love for you to bring your pup shopping with you!
