What are some good plant combinations for a garden with lots of foot traffic and pets?

1. Lavender and Thyme: These two plants are excellent for a low-traffic garden that has pets. The fragrant aroma of lavender can help keep pets away, while thyme's dense foliage will provide a soft surface for them to walk on.

2. Marigold and Zinnia: These two types of flowers are perfect for a garden that sees a lot of foot traffic and pets. Marigolds are known for their ability to repel insects, while zinnias come in a variety of colors and provide a soft surface for pets to play on.

3. Hosta and Ferns: Hostas and ferns are both excellent options for gardens with pets. Hostas are known for their durable leaves, while ferns can grow in shady areas and provide a soft surface for pets to walk on.

4. Creeping Phlox and Sedum: These two plants are excellent options for gardens that receive a lot of foot traffic. Creeping phlox can spread quickly and provide a soft surface for pets to walk on, while sedum is a hardy succulent that can withstand heavy foot traffic.

5. Catnip and Catmint: If you have pets, why not plant some catnip or catmint? These plants are known to attract cats, but they are also hardy and can withstand heavy foot traffic. Plus, they will provide a fragrant aroma that you and your pets can enjoy.
