Deer can be a big problem in certain areas of Lake County, but you can plant more than just juniper and oleander. The selection is better than you may think. Just remember deer resistant doesn’t mean deer proof. Young deer, starving deer, or just plain contrary deer will try anything. It is highly recommended that all new plantings be treated wih a deer repellent. We can also apply repellant at the nursery.
