The Cat-Safe Garden: Catnip Heaven!

Cats are less likely to bother your plants and flowers if you have catnip in your garden. Spaced strategically throughout your garden will allow the neighborhood cats and stray cats to choose areas away from your plants in which to play, rest, seek shade and nibble on their favorite herb (the only herb truly safe for them).
In my garden, catnip is in planters on the deck, a larger planter at a far end of the garden and a catnip patch containing several plants on the other end of the garden. The catnip patch gets partial to full sun, but gets enough shade at different times of the day to allow the cats to rest and nap under a shade tree.
My neighbor cats and stray cats with their catnip:
As you can see, they're happy. When they're happy, I'm happy :)
