No More Deer Feeding Skills—Plant These to Repel Them Easily Deer can be beautiful to watch, but when they frequently visit your garden to feast on arrowhead plants, hostas, or ornamental shrubs, they quickly shift from charming wildlife to frustrating pests. Instead of trying to manage deer with repellents or fencing, why not take a smarter, eco-friendly approach? The solution? Plant deer-repelling plants that naturally deter these unwanted visitors without harming them or your garden. ### Why Stop Deer Feeding In the First Place? Deer feeding in residential areas often stems from easy access to food like ornamental plants, shrubs, and vegetable patches. While feeding may seem harmless, it encourages deer to linger and demolish vegetation, damaging gardens and encouraging habituation—where deer return regularly, expecting a free meal. Instead of managing deer through deterrents, planting species they naturally avoid is a more sustainable, long-term strategy.
