My yard is overrun with squirrels, so I'm planting these 5 bulbs I know they won't eat to guarantee a bloom-filled spring garden

Spring bulbs growing in a container and border.

I'm lucky to be able to walk a few yards from my house into a beautiful woodland area, and I love spotting wildlife there. But, it does mean my yard is often frequented by squirrels. While adorable to see, these creatures can become a nuisance when it comes to bulbs.

They have a taste for soft, starchy bulbs, like tulips and crocus, which is why you'll often find these dug up if you have a large squirrel population in your area. So, I'm being proactive with getting rid of squirrels from my yard by planting bulbs squirrels don't eat. This is an insurance policy for my spring garden, by choosing bulbs I know these garden visitors won't be tempted to help themselves to.
