Have you tried giving her something that may look like
plants to her? I have had good results with always having a
bucket of plant soil available to my ferrets, so they can
dig there whenever they want. Once a week or so, I pour
some water in it to make it smell better.
 
Yes, they still want to explore my plants, and I let them
do it under supervision. (Rustan can climb up to them, but
I don't know how, and when he does he doesn't do much
damage.)
