How do we use your location?
Knowing your location helps us recommend plants that will thrive in your climate, based on your Growing Zone.
Our No Nibble Deer Resistant Pre-Planned Garden will keep your garden off the menu for hungry deer.
Remember, it's important to protect your young plants, since even deer resistant plants need time to mature and develop their natural defenses, such as fragrance or bitter taste.
*Plants are subject to change due to availability. If we make substitutions, we feature plants with similar attributes suitable to the garden design.

"Common boneset was dead twice. Was reimbursed the second time, but will have to purchase in the spring to replace. Was disappointed that the plants were so tiny and will take 3 years to establish."
"We've listened! In partnership with our greenhouses and growers this product was improved based on your customer ratings and reviews. We have worked to add clearer growing instructions to our Product Page for young deer resistant plantings. It is important to remember that young plants need to be protected right after planting, as even those with natural defenses need time to mature and develop attributes like bitter tastes and fragrances to deter nibbles."
"I was excited to plant a pre-planned garden. I had cleared and prepared a nice spot and planted all my small starter plants in the fall. Within the week many of the fragile, small plants had all been nibbled down. I waited until the spring to see what would happen. About 1/3- returned. Hopeful they would survive, I tried to assist with deer prevention methods with minimal success. I was hoping not to have to be so vigilant with the plants. It is a great concept, the instructions are clear, the plants well packaged. Deer resistent, not so much."
