I really like deer. In fact, I like them so much that when we go to the Dells, we try to take Ava to the deer park there. She loves being able to pet the deer and have them follow her around. But I only like them in places like that where they can’t do any harm. I definitely DON’T like them in or near the road. And I don’t have a garden, but I’m sure I wouldn’t appreciate them anywhere near my garden, either! I’ve heard from others who garden that deer can really do irreparable damage to your plants and trees. I’m pretty sure if I had deer destroying my garden, I wouldn’t like them nearly as much as I do now!!
But for those who don’t like deer near their gardens, landscaping and other plants, there are safe solutions (safe for both our families and for the deer). Probably the easiest solution is deer repellent. This site offers quite a few different chemical solutions to keep the deer away from your plants. Another solution would be to choose plants that deer aren’t interested in. There is a list of those plants on this site as well. If you’re committed to taking care of your garden in a way that is safe for the deer, make sure you take a look at this site!
