Hi Alicia, here are a few things you can try - https://www.wikihow.com/Keep-Cats-Out-of-a-Garden

Plantings of ruta graveolens (Rue), lemon balm, lavender, rosemary, peppermint can be effective. Soak cotton balls in tea tree oil and lemon or orange essential oils and place them where cats are a problem.
