If you want to keep deer from eating your plants, plant plants that the deer don't eat. Ruth Rogers Clausen, author of 50 Beautiful Deer Resistant Plants, joins us to talk about how to keep deer out of your yard by choosing plants that are deer resistant or deer proof. Did you know that acorns attract deer? That fact is just one of the 'aha' moments I had when reading about how to deal with the deer problem in the garden and yard. The book is full of well done photographs and in addition to the 50 Deer Resistant Plants that are the main theme of the book, Ms Clausen lists additional companion plants to fill out your deer proof yard and garden.
