By Kate McGregor – House Beautiful

For many suburban gardeners, cultivating and caring for their outdoor spaces is one of the most rewarding parts of the warmer months. But this idyllic time of year also brings an influx of hungry wildlife—if the rabbits haven’t ransacked your garden yet, the deer are likely on their way. Deer can quickly undo your efforts overnight, leaving chewed-up greenery and bare flower stalks where a vibrant garden once stood. While they’re undeniably striking creatures, deer are far from being ideal visitors for your garden.

Completely warding off these determined animals can be tough—after all, as Dimitri Gatanas, owner of Urban Garden Center in New York, says, “If a deer is hungry, nothing is going to keep them away.” However, there are effective strategies to deter them from feasting on your just-sprouted blooms. Whether it’s through robust fencing or selecting deer-resistant plants, these tried-and-true methods will help shield your garden from these persistent grazers.
