How can you prevent chipmunks from getting into your potted plants?

Question:We have a lot of potted plants out at our cottage but we also have an investation of chipmunks. We love having them there but they always get into the plants. Are there any ways, without killing them, to keep them off the plants? If not are there just certain plants they go for that we shouldn't plant?
