Landscape Shrubs that Deer Dislike

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.
