How to Make a Yard Deer-Proof (Or at Least Deer-Resistant)
Opening: "This weekend, I caught a deer family treating my hostas like an all-you-can-eat buffet. Again. I’m starting to think they have a group chat about my garden."
The Problem: Jackson’s deer are relentless. I’ve tried sprays, fake owls, even human hair (weird, but desperate times). Nothing works. My flower beds look like a salad bar after a frat party.
The Discovery: I stumbled on Fiorello’s About Us page (link), where they mentioned designing landscapes for “deer-heavy areas.” Finally, someone who gets it. They even listed plants deer hate—lavender, Russian sage, boxwood. (Note to self: Plant nothing cute or leafy ever again.)
Takeaways:
Fencing is expensive, but native plants might be my cheap(er) savior.
Pro tip: Deer hate strong smells. Time to plant ALL the herbs.
Maybe I’ll just embrace the chaos and install a “Deer Café” sign.
Closing: "Next step: A Pinterest board titled ‘Yards That Look Good to Humans But Bad to Deer.’ Wish me luck."
