Autumnal Equinox: Fun Facts About The First Day of Fall

With the autumnal equinox just around the corner, you won’t have to wait long for shorter days, warmer colors, fall flowers, and cozy moments at home. While it may still feel like summer after September 22, this day signals the official arrival of fall. Besides telling us when we can break out our chunky sweaters and get ready for all things pumpkin spice, the autumnal equinox is also tied to interesting traditions and fun events. And it reminds us to say farewell-for-now to summer and welcome autumn into our gardens and homes.

Here’s a List of Non-Toxic Flowers That May Be Safe for Your Furry Friend

Disclaimer: This information does not take the place of professional veterinary advice. Different animals have varying tolerances to all substances, including flowers. Please refer to this information from the ASPCA to learn more. If you’re like us, your dogs and cats are more than just pets; they’re members of the family. As any pet owner knows, it can be difficult to keep your furry friend from eating whatever strikes their fancy. That’s why it’s so important to know which popular flowers could be safe for cats and dogs, before you give or receive a Bouq. While you should always keep all flowers out of reach of your pets, by choosing a flower that could be safe for your furry friends, you can sit back and enjoy your new Bouq while being less vigilant about their safety.
