What is the problem with your 3 year old daughter relevant to
gardening?

The sharp thorny branches are about the same height as her, meaning I
cant let her in the garden to play properly because she could really
hurt herself.

Ridiculous and unnecessary overprotection. IME you are causing far
more lasting damage by not letting a 3yr old out to play in the garden.

And in mine. Mine were let loose in a garden with some extremely
thorny and some fairly poisonous plants by the age of two - with
appropriate warnings and lessons, of course. And, if you have to
prick her hand to show her that thorns hurt, that's what parents
are there for.
