Gardeners across the country face the challenge of protecting plants from deer. Although they're beautiful creatures and you might be happy to let them roam your yard, deer will also graze on a range of edible and ornamental plants.
Luckily, it's quite easy to deer-proof your yard, or areas of your yard, with deer-resistant plants - the plants that deer generally leave alone. If you want to welcome this wildlife but want to make sure your planting doesn't suffer for it, you need to cover all areas. The good news is there are plenty of deer-resistant shade plants for those darker spots in your yard.
