Seasonal Progression
When deer are eating your garden down to the ground, try a different approach. This EZ Scape™ is comprised with plants that deer have reliably been observed to leave alone. The trio looks handsome together all throughout the season, easily checking the boxes for spring flowers, summer flowers, and evergreen foliage all throughout the year. It’s easy on the eyes and on the wallet, as you won’t have to worry about deer killing the plants and replacing them.
