Lawn & Garden

I ran across some useful information on deer resistant plants the other day and I figured I would pass it along to you. We get calls everyday with people needing help with deer coming into their yard and eating their plants. Generally we recommend using an Electric Fence Kit to keep them out of the garden or yard. If you are like me I still would like to have some nice plants outside of my yard that I dont have to enclose with an Electric Fence. Below is a list of deer resistant plants that might be a good option. Always remember that when a deer is hungry he we eat almost anything. Good Luck !
