Plants that sheep won't eat

[tywysoges]

Is there such thing? I want to plant a shrub border in my front garden but the neighbouring farm's sheep occasionally roam around in the village - is there anything they won't destroy? Ideally I would plant rose bushes but they have eaten a potted rose I had out in front, so I am guessing that's out. Is lavender any good? Or any other suggestions, please? Would prefer flowering and/or nice smelling but am open to suggestions.

Thanks in advance

Is there such thing? No

Actually - I don't think they eat bracken, rushes and thistles. Gorse is both reputedly sheep-proof and scented. There's some suggestions here

I thought so

Thanks for link, I will have a look - hope the solution isn’t a proper fence!

And this is why I love MN

(Don’t judge me, I know nothing of either sheep or gardening 🤣)

Me neither, and that's why I love the fact that we can instantly connect with someone who does!
@MereDintofPandiculation you're my hero of the day!

Indo know that horse smells heavenly though, so definitely plant some!

Yikes. My phone hates me! Gorse

Hawthorn? Not massively pretty but tough some flowers and good for birds!

Everything I've read says sheep like hawthorn. Certainly when we're planting it in "rewilding" projects we have to put tree guards round, and that's more for sheep than it is for rabbits and deer.

Once it's old and established, it'll be fine, but it's getting it that far in the first place.
