Dear Gardeners:

Imagine wandering around the woods all winter long, everything's covered in snow, and you're so hungry you've even stripped the bark off of a tree to eat it. Then, you spot a beautiful garden in a small clearing. It's filled with bright green juicy leaves and colorful flowers. It's been such a long winter and you're so cold and hungry! What's one little taste? Then you'll be on your way to eat more tree bark. Mmmm, those fresh spring leaves are good... just another little bite. Maybe one more bite.

Maybe you're not a deer, but it's hard to blame the furry beasts. If you were a deer you'd pull up a chair, grab a fork, and dig in the smorgasbord (aka the modern American garden) too!

All sympathy aside, our challenge is to fill our garden with beautiful plants that aren't as tempting to a deer's palate. While it's true that a deer that's hungry enough will eat anything, there is a whole host of plants that are as appealing deer as broccoli to a pre-teen. But these miracle plants are no secret! Just go to our website, click the down arrow by the "Advanced Search" search button in the top right corner. A drop down box will appear and you can check off the box next to the picture of a crossed-out deer. Click "Search" and in mere seconds nearly 400 hundred deer resistant items will appear at your fingertips!

Happy Gardening,
