Deer-resistant gardening focuses on selecting plants that deer tend to avoid, such as those with strong scents, fuzzy leaves, or bitter tastes. Popular choices include lavender, ornamental grasses, and many herbs. While no plant is completely deer-proof, thoughtful plant selection combined with barriers, repellents, and strategic placement can greatly reduce damage. This approach helps maintain a beautiful, thriving landscape while minimizing frustration and protecting your investment from frequent deer browsing.
