Default Can my tort eat these?

hey guys i'm new here and recently got a Horsefield names Tilly )

here's a picture of her

I let her out in our garden for a lil bit and she started to eat the bedding plants we have. i'm a lil scared these could harm her and i don't know the names of the plants so I wanted to post here to see if anyone could tell me the names of the plants and whether or not she can eat them )

thanks guys here's the pics!

Hi

The first one is Campanula which is edible, my torts love this

'Fraid I don't know what he second one is, I'm sure someone will be along in a bit that will be able to ID it for you

Tilly's lovely by the way

She is beautiful. Call me thick (I know others do!) but from just a head shot she doesnt look like a Horsfield-or if she is she is unusually beautiful in the looks department!?

don't use it all up though because they also love the flowers that come on it. there's loads of varieties, I have 7.

the second plant is not edible by the way, as shellonia says. I have that in the garden too, had it for years before we got torts
