Plant Strategically
What dog wouldn’t want to climb into your carefully tended flower beds for a snooze under the cover of a couple of shady shrubs? Flattened flowers can be a recurrent frustration for dog owners with green thumbs.
Lindsay suggests planting strategically, not to deter pets as much as to withstand them. “Plants such as herbs are great for dogs,” she says. “Things like low-growing thyme are so robust, a dog could lie all over it and it’d be fine. Also try chamomile and mint.” Lemon balm, part of the mint family, is another option to consider.
Rosemary, the designer adds, is also really robust, and not as comfy, so it might even double as a deterrent.
