Deer Resistant Shade Garden

The Deer Resistant Shade Garden showcases plants that thrive in shade and are avoided by deer. Home gardeners often encounter challenges either selecting plants for shade or deer resistance or both; this garden helps gardeners observe and then choose plants wisely for these conditions. The plants included are ones that local Master Gardener Volunteers have succeeded in growing in areas with heavy deer pressure and shade. Your deer may have different tastes! For more about the plants, consult plant labels in the garden and the lists, photos and detailed information below.
