WARNING!! There is no such thing as a "deer proof" plant. There are many plants
however that are deer resistant. This means that under normal
conditions, deer will avoid these plants for others that are more
desirable. However, during times of extreme feeding pressure due to
overpopulation or drought conditions all bets are off and deer have
been known to eat just about anything that is green.
We have put together a list of plants from our own observations and gained knowledge from other sources. This list is not all inclusive. The plants listed here are the common plants grown in this area.
