I live in Utah, and am lucky enough to be surrounded by many GORGEOUS mountains. I love the mountains, but because they are in such close proximity, I find myself fighting over my garden with deer! It’s every year without fail! Before we begin, I should mention that no plant is truly “deer resistant” but the plants listed in the article work effectively to keep them at bay.

Living in the Northeast? Try growing plants such as Bee Balm,Brunnera, and Catmint! Bee Balm is known for its bright flowers that stay bloomed throughout the summer months. Keep the soil well drained, and keep the plant in an area of full sun. So long, deer!
