Deer Resistant Herb & Flower Garden Before & After | AnOregonCottage.com

When we finished renovating our hundred-year-old farmhouse fixer, we needed to do something about the side yard. I wanted a flower and herb garden. But we are visited by very hungry deer every night. So I had to find plants that are naturally deer-resistant (we didn't want to enclose our yard in a 6 foot + fence).
