It's great living out in the country, away from the city lights. One of the negatives of living out in the country is trying to grow plants that deer will not call their own. Deer are great to look at but they can make it real hard to grow anything---you can't blame them--that fresh green growth is hard to ignore. Below is a list of some trees, flowers and shrubs that for the most part, deer will stay away from. Good luck---It comes down to a really tall fence--:)--Chuck
