| | | Prickly shrubs to deter cats?
Has anyone any ideas what I could plant to deter a cat from taking a particular path near my water voles? I'd be very grateful for any suggestions. |

Berberis will deter anything some types are quite small shrubs and depending on which you choose you have year round colour and berries.
