She is 2 years old and quite the garden extrodinaire but the thing is i am in a rental property.The owner isnt stressed because i can just put plants back in but im stressed because i like the yard to look nice. She will occasionly take washing off the line as well ....and she doesnt fold it lol. She has plenty of excercise and spends lots of time with us but as soon as left to her own devices its look out!

Hehehe... little fart.
Sprinkle some cayenne, cajun spices or garlic around. Let her take a whiff...
I know that is proven in my garden,but I also hear that dogs don't like the scent of marigolds and calendulas

As a fellow Boxer owner, I know you have your hands full. You can use the other methods described below, and they may help, but the real answer is excercise and then more exercise. You say she has "plenty" but how much is that? My Boxer is the same way when she does not get to run or go for a long walk. I come home to find she has taken things (like today was a package of curtains, the last time it was a picture frame) out into the yard to play with, even though she has a Cocker Spaniel as a playmate and can go in and out of the house into a large fenced in yard! She can run for an hour or go for a 4.5 mile walk and then run some more. I try to give her a run every day, but can't always do it now that it's getting darker earlier, so I play ball with her on the stairs. Boxers are high energy dogs, and it sounds like yours is finding ways to release some of it. She may also need mental stimulation - teach her the "find it" game. Hide small tidbits around the room while she is in another one. Bring her near the first one and say "find it". Keep working with her a little each day until she knows what "find it" means. My dog can be told to find specific things, she knows how to find her basketball, soccer ball, bone, hoofie, Dad, etc. I'm planning next to teach her how to pull a cart - that should keep her busy, and a dog with a job is a happy one. Good luck - Boxers Rule!

Put something foul smelling to the dog in the garden.

Pull her teeth:):).
Get a small swithc and switch her but and legs whenyu se eher doing it. she'll get the message.
Walk outside wiht her and spank her if she tries top pull up the plants. or scold her good. sometimes a dong is like a child. a good scolding is as good as a spanking.
