Deer Resistant Plants 1/3

garden center

Only poisonous plants are completely deer-proof. If hungry enough, deer will eat almost everything else. Usually, deer will avoid plants that are fragrant, aromatic, or have fuzzy leaves. Something new in the garden and new soft growth will be a taste treat, so new plantings may be sampled, but not eaten to the ground. Trees
