Deer are just like us; some foods they say yes to, and others they turn their noses away. Gardeners looking to protect their flowerbeds this spring should install a deer fence first; and as a secondary barrier, plant deer-resistant plants including a mixture of flowers and herbs. 

Here are different types of plants deer hate eating and smelling:

• Marigolds
• Daffodils
• Sage
• Rosemary
• Mint
• Lavender
• Columbine
• Zebra Grass Gold Breeze
• Blanket Flower
• Daisy
• Geraniums

Plant these flowers around your 'better' flowers for garden protection against deer. After a few short visits, deer will find other properties to explore for food.
