Creating A Garden That Deters Deer
Yesterday before work, I decided to admire my garden that I had worked on all weekend. I was surprised to find 2 of my vintage pots completed turned over with all of the flowers on the ground that I had planted. I looked around to find deer tracks all over the new soil, however I noticed nothing was eaten! Why didn't they eat anything? After a little research I found out I have planted everything deer do not like!
Deer often steer clear of plants that are bitter, spiny, poisonous, fuzzy, coarse, or very aromatic. When designing your cottage garden there are so many plants you can use that fit this category!
Here are 10 fragrant and thorny plants that will look wonderful in your cottage garden and that deer will stay away from.
