Want to Keep Deer From Eating Your Garden? Here’s What to Plant 

Strong-Flavored Veggies  

Garlic, onions, and hot peppers are unappealing to deer. 

Deer-Resistant Flowers  

Marigolds, snapdragons, and yarrow are beautiful but unappetizing to deer. 

Tall & Dense Borders  

Plant hedges like boxwood or juniper to create a natural deer barrier. 

Fragrant Herbs 

Deer dislike strong scents, so plant rosemary, lavender, and mint to keep them away. 

Fuzzy Foliage 

Plants like lamb’s ear and Russian sage have textures that deer avoid. 

Spiky & Thorny 

Deer steer clear of prickly plants like holly, barberry, and globe thistle. 

Toxic Choices 

Daffodils, foxglove, and monkshood are poisonous to deer and naturally repel them.
