Sometimes we let our sheep into the garden to have a nibble at the lawn (don't worry, no weedkillers etc and it used to be field), but given half a chance they will start on the shrubs. In particular they make a bee-line for Griselina, Pittosporum and Hebe - which are all New Zealand plants used as evergreen shelter belts here in the South-West. Does anyone know if they are used as forage in their native country? The sheep are used to browsing the hedges and eat the young shoots of a lot of our native trees.
