Judi,

The ASPCA website has a large variety of plants that are safe for cats to mulch around and/or taste. Bamboo, cat grass and ginger are very popluar ones.

Are you planning to have them on the ground or are you creating a vertical garden?

Either way I would take a look at ASPCA website and consult with your local landscape supplier.
