You can find excellent information on native plants for various needs (including deer resistance) on our Plants for the Maine Landscape page and the State of Maine’s Deer Resistant Plants list. I will call particular attention, as well, to our Native Plants Source list, which should give you a starting place for locating nurseries up here where you can find these plants for sale.
