DEER-RESISTANT PLANTS

As winter draws to a close and the snow melts away, it’s common to see deer out in the open, grazing on the new-grown plants and grasses. 
While the appearance of animals is a welcome sign that spring has
arrived, it could also mean trouble for your garden.

Grazing deer are nice to watch, but they can cause extensive damage by feeding on your plants.  Keeping this in mind, gardeners should consider the
placement and selection of their plants.  Try to plant more susceptible
species near the home or in a fenced area.  You may also want to choose
plants that deer are less likely to feed on.

Consider Plants to Deter Deer
Deer tend to avoid bulb vegetables, especially chives, garlic and onions. In addition to these bulb vegetables, there are other plants and flowers
that deer tend to leave alone.  While the following plants categories
are best for landscapes prone to deer damage, it’s important to realize
that no plant is completely “deer proof.”
