Deer & rabbit resistant plants
Whilst wildlife in the garden is a gift and a happy sight, when your prized plants have been nibbled or worse still decimated, it is a different matter entirely. Fortunately there are some plants they prefer not to eat, though if other food is very scarce they may still munch on them. ; Top tip: For deer, a robust fence to keep them out is the best way to protect plants (six foot high). You can also protect individual plants with barriers, or taste deterrents.
