It’s so frustrating after all the time spent nurturing and
grooming your beautiful garden or landscape to find pests slowly
destroying your work. Although, not all pests are small unseen
bugs. Some pests walk in from the forest on four long legs and are
able to jump over fences to feed on your fruits and flowers. Deer can
quickly do damage to what has taken you months or years to
develop.
If you know you have deer, and are looking for plants that are more
deer-detested, please read on! Al’s Garden Center has compiled a
list of Deer Resistant plants you may want to incorporate in your
landscape design. Please note, if deer are really hungry, these
plants may also be subject to deer damage, especially young plants. To
deter and confuse deer, combine aromatic (garlic, rosemary, lavender) and
fuzzy-leaved plants (Dusty Miller, Lungwort, Yarrow) with plants deer are
attracted to (like roses).
