| HEIDI'S QUICK REFERENCE DEER LIST | ||
|---|---|---|
| Deer in different areas have different tastes and will on occasion eat anything, particularly if the plants are fresh from the nursery and succulent. These are the plants that I have come to rely on as "Pretty Sure Bets" in Western Sonoma County. Definately not all the "deer resistant" plants, but a good starter list. The first group contains perennials and other flowering plants and groundcovers. | ||
