Don’t let pesky deer turn your beautiful garden into a snack! Instead, grow critter-resistant plants that bring resilience and structure to your landscape, such as gorgeous grasses and breathtaking blooms.

Deer and other bothersome garden critters can be a real pain in the plants, but fortunately, there are some solutions. Products like Bonide and Deer Scram are pretty effective in getting the message across that your garden isn’t on the menu, and both are easy to use. Other options include growing plants that are prickly and, thus, much less appetizing, frequently alternating between different odor repellents, or installing a fence. But remember, hungry animals are outstandingly persistent, and sometimes they find a way despite our best efforts.
