I know, I love those flowers. They are a great way to add a dose of beauty and color to your yard. Because as much as you love them so do the deer. Finally, avoid planting too many hastes and fruit trees. I know, this is a total bummer. We have a small orchard planted on our property.
And I love hastes. They grow practically anywhere which is a great way to add a little life to even the shadiest corner of the yard. But deer love them. So try to plant these items sparingly.
We have been so fortunate that deer have left our fruit trees alone. The reason I believe they have is because they are actually planted quite close to our home. We planted our little orchard right in our front yard. I love this because I get to see the beautiful trees bloom, but I also get to keep a close eye on any pest that want to make a snack out of them. So anything that you know is going to attract them such as berries, roses, azalea bushes, and so forth, try to plant them closer to your home.
Book giveaway for Don't Frighten the Pansies by Verna Cole Mitchell Apr Apr 21,
Deer have a very sensitive nose. I mean, they can smell just about anything. You can accomplish this by planting perennials such as garlic, lavender, and chives. I actually have each of these planted in my yard right now. They are very useful for other things besides deer repellent and are very easy to grow.

So instead of planting them, see if there is a similar plant that can take its place that is less appetizing. A few examples of common substitutes are trading out deer favorites, the tulip, with daffodils.

They are beautiful flowers that will still add the vibrant colors that most people plant tulips for. Not to mention, they both are meant to come back year after year. Another good substitute is instead of planting roses with fewer thorns, choose the rose options that have plenty of thorns on them. I know the less thorny options make gardening easier.
But it also makes it easier for deer to eat them too. So try to keep these substitutions in mind as you decide on which plants to use at your home this year. You can place a fence around your garden to help keep deer out. This option can be costly unless you choose to use pallets. But there are also other great options to help protect your garden.
Place a hedge of shrubs around it.
This will cause a thick hedge and make getting into your garden less enticing. A good option for hedge shrubs is the boxwood shrubs. But really any large shrub that will come together to form a natural fence will do. This may sound counterintuitive but if you plant a few deer favorites at the edge of your yard then it will keep them from wanting to enter your yard.
Basically, what it does is lure deer in with a bait. Then it gives them a little shock. I know a lot of people love having birds in their yards. They put out lots of different bird feeders to attract them and then they get to watch them all day long. Well, the only problem is that bird feeders look like easy food to deer.
So not only are you bringing in birds, but you are also enticing the deer to come too.
21 Ways to Keep Deer Out of Your Garden and Plants Without Killing Them
Deer are very skittish creatures. So if you are having an issue with deer then start making some noise. So there are lots of different options to make noise to keep deer at bay. You can make a wind chime out of tin cans or even buy one here. You can also use fireworks or even the static from a radio. Just use a dial radio and place it in between stations. That loud static noise should be enough to scare off any deer in the area. I have a really funny memory with motion lights.
My grandmother would get so made when a stray cat would walk across her car. So when she would go out there and see their paw prints on her windshield it would drive her insane. Finally, she got the idea to use a motion light and every time one of those stray cats would walk across her car under the carport the light would come on.
It stopped her stray cat problem. The same can be the case for you with your deer problem. Motion sensor lights scare them so it should keep them away. Motion sensor lights can be purchased at any general merchandising store or here on Amazon. This would be enough to scare away a human, let alone a deer. Just as there are motion activated lights, there are also motion activated sprinklers.
They too can be purchased at a general merchandising store or here as well. If you have a deer problem then simply open your door and let your dog out. That sounds too easy probably. But in all honesty, deer are very afraid of predators. So if they hear an animal they are most likely going to avoid the area.
Fishing line is great for more than just fishing. If you have a particularly prized plant, and you want to keep it protected then put fishing line around it. It confuses the deer. Fishing line will basically work the same way with them. There are so many homemade repellent options. The key to any of the homemade or any other repellent options is to keep switching them up. The first homemade repellent option is hanging fabric softener strips or bar soap from your trees and plants.
It is an unfamiliar smell and will trip up their scent and deter them from your property. Her language and description are so beautiful, and many of her poems affected me emotionally.
