What is the problem with your 3 year old daughter relevant to
gardening?

The sharp thorny branches are about the same height as her, meaning I
cant let her in the garden to play properly because she could really
hurt herself.


Ridiculous and unnecessary overprotection. IME you are causing far
more lasting damage by not letting a 3yr old out to play in the garden.

3 Years of age is a good time to start your daughter gardening, if you
are going to do anything with the garden then give her a little plot of
her own, some easy to grow plants and some fast growing seeds such as
radish that she can sow, harvest and eat in just a few weeks.
Tools for her?
