Squirrels may look sweet, but they can be destructive in our backyards. The furry fiends are renowned for digging up flowerbeds and pots, nibbling at plants, stripping tree bark, and swiping food from bird feeders, and even the most wildlife-friendly of gardeners can find this frustrating.
While there are plenty of natural ways to get rid of squirrels, it's also worth knowing which plants are particularly attractive to them. To make life easier, you might decide to avoid growing these entirely, swapping them for plants that are less likely to be targeted. And if you'd rather not change your planting plans, it's still worth knowing which flowers, trees, and crops to protect.
