How to Keep the Deer (and Other Furry Friends!) Away

The sun is shining, the flowerbeds are blooming… and the deer and other furry friends are looking to nibble on hydrangea leaves and all our other prized plants! Now, I love deer and bunnies, of course, but I don’t want to sacrifice all my hard garden work to these (cute!) forest creatures. So, I took to social media to ask all of you what you do to keep the animals away from your plants—and wow what a response!

I loved reading through all of your creative ideas, and I saw a few of my fave tried-and-true remedies, too! This week, I pulled together some repellent recipes to help keep the deer, rabbits, and other flower-hungry animals safely away from your garden. Let me know which ones you try!

Deer aren’t fans of hot spices, so sprinkle this combination outside to keep them away.
