    I think it might be the smell of the fresh turned dirt that he likes not the plants.
    Maybe you can distract him by using an old clam as a digging pit for him. Put some dirt in there and maybe stash a chewy toy or 2 there or even a bone.
    Then put a ton of pepper around any new plants.

    Our dog ate a rose bush that was in a pot...the poor thing has struggled to survive ever since but there are still always a couple of green leaves hanging on there!

    Could it be partly from boredom? Does she have lots of toys to play with, bones and kongs, and exercise to tire her out? Bit weird that she targets new plants though, could be the smells in the upturned dirt? Or she just doesn't like your landscaping abilities
