Creating a stoat-resistant outdoor plant box requires careful selection of plants that are unappealing or even deterrent to these agile predators. Stoats, known for their curiosity and agility, can damage gardens by digging or nibbling on tender plants. To safeguard your greenery, consider these stoat-resistant options:

1. Lavender (Lavandula) – Its strong fragrance repels stoats and other pests while adding beauty to your garden.

2. Rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis) – A hardy herb with a pungent scent that stoats tend to avoid.

3. Boxwood (Buxus sempervirens) – Its dense foliage and bitter taste make it unattractive to stoats.

4. Thyme (Thymus vulgaris) – A low-growing herb with a strong aroma that deters small predators.

5. Daffodils (Narcissus) – These contain toxic compounds that stoats instinctively avoid.

For added protection, elevate your plant box or use wire mesh to prevent digging. Pairing these plants with physical barriers ensures a stoat-proof garden. Choose resilient varieties and maintain healthy soil to keep your outdoor space thriving and pest-free.
