A Recommended List of Deer - Resistant Plants Many citizens have been asking the Town about deer-resistant plants that they can use in their landscaping. The following list represents plants that deer and rabbits usually will not eat. As these animals cannot read, and don’t know any better, sometimes they just can’t resist sampling a different “flavor” from your garden. There is no guarantee that one of these plants won’t end up on the menu, but these tend to be the ones that have successfully survived, while others have become dinner.
