Mum rang me with a gardening problem regarding goats.....her soil is dry,
sandy, slightly acid and under gum trees. She also suffers from marauding
goats....her own, but still.....so she's put in a request to all you
gardening gurus for plants that will handle dry conditions that goats will
not eat...she will be very very grateful!! It's sort of dappled shade in
some parts and full sun in others; she likes cottage gardens and already has
lavendar and rosemary growing. Thanks

They'd rather not eat gorse and blackberry, if there's anything else
around!

Years ago I lived in Wellington (NZ) on a hillside section. The
landlord said I should borrow the neighbour's goat and tether it in the
garden above the house to graze down the gorse & blackberry. I can
attest that the goat didn't eat gorse and blackberry, though there
wasn't much else on offer.
