Oh Deer!  What to Plant?

If you live at Lake of the Woods you have likely had your share of troubles with deer. 
Now there is help!
One of our new residents, Anna Smith, is sharing with us a list of deer-resistant plants that also further identifies their characteristics, conditions and habitats.  This list will help you identify plants that you might like to add to your garden! 
To download the list and print for yourself, click here.  Many thanks to Anna for sharing this list with us!  We look forward to having you join our ranks in May!
