Grow Your Own Creeping Thyme

[Lady Amelia]

Hello all,
I am building a small outdoor decorative guinea garden where my piggies can play outside. I am wondering if I can use Creeping Thyme as a ground cover?https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thymus_serpyllum

I can't find whether it's safe or not. But it's an evergreen, and that means phenols (strong aromatic compounds), and that would keep me from using it.

Can you just stick to the veggies and herbs that you know are safe? See https://www.guineapigcages.com/foru...vy-Nutrition-Charts-amp-Poisonous-Plants-List for what those are.

Thanks for your advice. I was hoping since Thyme was on the list, that this variety would be ok. I will stick with what we know.
