What to plant in your garden to keep cats away<\/h2>\n
There are several flowers and herbs that cats dislike due to their strong smell that can act as a natural barrier to discourage cats from entering a garden, as the smell will be too overwhelming for them and make them not want to spend time in the area.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Suzanna explained: \u201cThere are also some natural remedies which are a great idea in the garden. Lavender smells lovely to us but cats hate it, and the same goes for rosemary.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThen there\u2019s this plant, coleus canias, the so-called \u2018scaredy-cat plant which is meant to be so repellent to cats that they\u2019ll run a mile.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
She added: \u201cYou can keep them out by just careful gardening. Make a boundary hedge that is created from Holly or Mahalia or Bayer Burris. Not only will it deter cats, but can also keep out potential thieves \u201c<\/p>\n
Other plants that can keep cats away are lemon thyme, oregano, and curry herb plants will also act as boundaries to keep cats away.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Cats hate pepper, and they will keep well away.\u201d<\/p>\n
