Planting Full Sun Deer Resistant Flower Beds in California Part 1

We all know that deer eat EVERYTHING! Even those plants listed as deer resistant often get eaten by deer. So what do we do about those flower beds exposed to deer? I love to plant pretty, colorful flowers and have found some that have worked with the deer I encounter. In this video I want to walk you through a newly planted full sun flower bed and focus on full sun deer resistant plants and garden bed design. Here in California water is precious and so I am always thinking about water saving plants as well in my design. Want to see the 6 week follow up? Check out Part 2:    • 6 weeks and 1 Year post-Planting Full Sun ...  

Each of these plants is listed as a deer resistant plant. Not all of these plants are gopher resistant in which case I used gopher netting around the root balls of the ones I was sure were not (ie: Tecoma Stans, Lomandra, Purple fountain grass).
