I’m not sure if this works but in Japan my mom used to put wasabi or Japanese mustard around the edges of the area she didn’t want cats to come into, since we have a lot of stray cats over there. Maybe look into something that’ll emit a smell, that’s nontoxic to cats, to deter them from entering the flowerbed

Can you plant a small rosemary or lavender plant in there too? They hate the smell. Also, citrus rinds!
