33 El Pueblo Road, Scotts Valley, CA 95066 (831) 438-4106 www.ScarboroughGardens.com Scarborough Gardens Guide to Deer Resistant Plants The following plants are a compilation of several printed lists as well as input from our staff most of whom live in the Santa Cruz Mountains and our customers. We do want to emphasize that this is only a guide. We cannot guarantee that they won’t choose to eat these, since they don’t read our lists. For the most success, spray lightly with a deer repellant until plants are well established. Plants in BOLD SCRIPT are most deer resistant. For additional personalized assistance, please visit us and let our experienced staff help you. ** Lists compiled and updated by Tama Malwaukie, Bea Kendall, Erin Reese and several other staff members 2007.
