Hi LA, We had a terrible and heartbreaking deer problem when we lived in the US.
I find bulbs the most rewarding thing to plant–it’s so cheering when they come up year after year, and naturalize.
Try hellebores–they are an acquired taste, but you’ll love them since they bloom in winter. Also, they are toxic–and so deer-resistant–and with blooming all winter–what’s not to love!!

Sadly, I our new house, we have slugs and deer that threatened to ruin my very first spate of spring flowers. The deer chomped the rising tulip leaves down to the ground…so ow that they’ve bloomed, they are half flowers. Shows the absolute resilience of the tulips…they bloomed despite their damage (I hear an allegory coming on here). The slugs did a lot of damage to the hyacinths and they too bloomed despite the damage. I’m excited to add to the garden year on year and you just gave me a lot of ideas for varieties.

Blessings on your beautiful reflection on God’s natural world!
