I have a new puppy who is at the stage where everything (and I mean
everything) goes in his mouth! This includes flowers, leaves, twigs
and anything else he finds around the garden. I checked up which
plants were potentially poisonous and to my horror found that the list
includes many common species including virtually all bulbs,
philadelphus, ivy, delephiniums, lily of the valley, cherry laurel,
clematis armandii, dicentra and many more! Does anyone have any good
ideas about how to stop a puppy chewing these plants?

Many thanks

No smart ideas. The same issue can arise with children and grandchildren.
Close attention, correction and reward is all I can offer.

When our still young Jack Russells & older wire haired dachies were paying
too much attention to the ducks, we put a very low voltage rabbit fencing
round the enclosure. Each dog touched his nose to it just once..... I do
stress *very* low voltage but it's unexpected and was just enough to keep
them away from that area as long as the ducks lived there.
