Spring gardening can have its challenges. As our bulbs get ready to bloom, and as the leaves on the trees peek out from their winter slumber these soft gentle creatures begin to appear, their hungery bellies often driving them into new locations and to new delights. Gardeners often do a great job of planting many types and species of flowers and shrubs that bring elegance and beauty to their gardens. But many times these sweet plants are too hard to resist for a hungry deer or family of deers. Not all deer have the same pallet when it comes to eating. In fact deer from one side of the county might munch on something totally different from their family on the other side of the county. Though there is not too many truly deer resistant plants there are several that we can say that deer everywhere seem to consider less desirable. Please see the following link to gaze at plants that you might plant to help keep those pesky creatures from ravaging your garden. http://www.heronswood.com/deer-resistant-plants. If you would like to look at these plants, please stop by our nursery and our staff would be glad to show you many of the plants listed on the website.
