Landscape Shrubs that Deer Dislike
If wild deer are a part of your neighborhood, you know that your
favorite shrubs can be eaten down to mere nubs over a Michigan winter.
Deer are just trying to survive and you might as well plant shrubs
that are not on their “favorite” dining list. Please note these lists
comprise plants that can be eaten by deer – if hungry enough and
nothing else is available.
