Deer may seem harmless enough, yet to so many gardeners they're a familiar nuisance year-round. These creatures have an appetite for a wide range of plants, and will happily munch on foliage, shoots, flowers, berries, and even bark to get their fill.
Tall, physical barriers are your best bet in keeping deer out, but there are also some quick and easy DIY tricks you can try. Relying on unappealing scents or simple scare tactics, these deterrents tend to be budget-friendly, too.
