I just did a blog post on deer resistant plants. If you have deer, you know that there is no deer proof plants. Deer do not like strongly scented plants. It messes with their smelling danger. What plants do you find that encourage them to "walk on by"

I have read they don't like either lavendar or lilacs - haven't tried it out though...

Hahaha...good luck with that! Granted, they don't devour the lavendar, but they nibble! I think they get used to what's around...at least they seem to here.

Yes, a very tall fence or a fence within a fence is what it takes. I did a presentation at our local Home Show on Deer Resistant plants and also one on roses. I put some pictures and notes on my blog at: http://ahealthygardener.com - G
