Turtles seem to be a bulldozer sort of animal. They probably have paths to get where they are going which they were doing long before you got there. You may have to plant things out of the way because there's really no getting rid of the turtles.
Yes, Pua, my hibiscus spend the winter in my little sunroom. I put them out in the spring, or what I thought was spring this year and it was probably too chilly so they are coming back from almost complete defoliation at the moment. but most of them are now up enjoying the sun and heat on my brown deck and coming back nicely. They are the only plants that actually prosper up there. A couple need a bit more pruning, but I should have flowers back soon. Here's a picture of one of them from last year
