Deer Resistant Shrubs

Shrubs, which are usually smaller than trees, usually have more than once central stem that extends outward from the base of the plant. Shrubs are frequently eaten by deer due to their low height and accessible edible bits.

Gardeners love to plant shrubs. These smaller plants can add a variety of landscape qualities that would otherwise be absent from the garden – levels, texture, and color. Without shrubs, what could have been called a garden becomes an orchard or flower-bed. Shrubs add variety. Many shrubs are planted to create privacy walls and accent features in the yard. How often have you seen the common American boxwood shrub planted by a neighbor’s front door or a colorful rhododendron shrub at the house’s corners? Character attends the yard where shrubs are planted to strategically add cover, class, and color.

Unfortunately, deer can significantly damage the shrubs homeowners plant. Shrubs, which are typically closer to the ground, are at a higher risk for severe damage than trees, whose height makes them a smaller target. Shrubs are commonly devastated by the curious creatures who wander our woods.

Luckily, there are dozens of deer-resistant shrubs available. These shrubs have a variety of characteristics that make them unpopular to deer. We have collected a few of the most popular deer resistant shrubs here, and we have also compiled a much longer list below.

Prepare a garden selection free from the devastating effects of deer. Though a nibble here and there may occur, your overall garden appearance and health will blossom with the proper plant preparation and planting. And flowers, too!

ARROW WOOD VIBURNUM - This flowering shrub displays creamy white flowers in the spring and vibrant blue to black berries in the early fall. Though birds will frequent the bush in the autumn for their meals, deer appear to have little interest in the Arrow wood Viburnum, which is found in most regions of the United States, except the farthest south and southwest regions. Expect your shrub to reach between 6 and 15 feet in height.

BARBERRY - A common garden plant, the Barberry (sometimes spelled Berberry) shrub is a medium-sized high-interest, lowmaintenance plant. Frequently planted as a hedge or foundation plant, the Barberry displays luscious ruby to burgundy colors in its leaves, though some species include more yellow tones. Frequently thorny, the Barberry deters deer and grows easily in many types of environments.

DAPHNE - Daphne plants can be either deciduous or semievergreen, and they compose a variety of broad-leafed flowering shrubs. Daphne plants are typically fragrant and display clusters of tubular flowers that vary in color from light pinks and whites to blues and purples. The Daphne is a beautiful ornamental bush (one of my

favorites). Even better? Deer won’t bite the flowers as they are want to do on other flowering shrubs.

FRAGRANT

SUMAC - With a wildflower attitude, the Fragrant Sumac provides a plant with manageable growing rates, pest and insect invulnerabilities, and, as the name implies, a pleasant odor when the twigs or leaves are bruised. This small, 2 to 4 foot shrub, repels deer and instead offers tiny yellow spring flowers and supple

and fruit.

HEATHER SHRUB - Most Heathers bloom in summer, providing stunning clusters of purples and pinks. Landscapers love Heather, which grows easily on poor soil, hillsides, and ledges. For this reason, Heather is frequently used as a border plant, lining garden walls, and in the undergrowth as a colorful foundation plant. In addition to these traits, Heather is also resistant to the devastating effects of deer.

Juhannus Picnic June 21st

The Iron Mountain area Finnish American Raja Ryhma organization will have its annual

Juhannus Picnic on Saturday, June 21st, at the Iron Mountain City Park, Bradley Maki Pavilion - the beautiful log structure with a skyblue roof located near the Deer Park

Juhannus is a Finnish celebration, which is traditionally held on the longest day of the year in June, after enduring long, dark winters, with few daylight hours between mid-December and mid-January. In Finland, some people get together on Midsummer’s Eve to enjoy time together and have a bonfire (or kokko, as it is called in the Finnish language). Many also celebrate on Midsummer’s Day, which is the longest day of the year. Finnish settlers in the United States have continued this tradition of their heritage.

Attendees will gather for a meet and greet time at noon and are asked to provide a dish to share for the potluck picnic lunch to follow at 12:30 p.m. A spokesperson for the group said, “A favorite Finnish recipe would be especially welcome!” Coffee and lemonade will be provided, but please bring your own plates and silverware. To add to the festive afternoon, special music will be provided by Paula D. Make your plans now for an afternoon of food, fun, great music, and conversation! Everyone is welcome!

For more information, please call Melanie Olson at 715-251-1791.

Monette’s Market On Woodward Joins Chamber And Recently Hosted A Ribbon Cutting

The Dickinson Area Chamber of Commerce is proud to spotlight Monette’s Market, a locally owned business that continues a family legacy in Kingsford. Originally established as a grocery store in 1957 by Francis Monette, and purchased by his son, Alan Monette in 1982, the family tradition lives on through Nicole McKinnon, Alan’s daughter. After challenges brought on by the pandemic, a changing economy, and the passing of her father led to the closing of the original grocery store, Nicole opened Monette’s Market at 393 Woodward Avenue—just two doors down from the original location. “To keep Monette’s alive, we purchased the old dry cleaner building two doors down from our grocery store location,” said Nicole McKinnon. “We took our recipes of Porketta and Italian Sausage and started something new!”

The new Monette’s Market offers a wide variety of fresh, high-quality products, including house-processed meats, fresh bakery items, salads, and homemade meals. Favorites include their signature Porketta, Italian Sausage, homemade pizza, and take-and-bake casseroles and soups. The market also features Goshen Coffee and Espresso and recently added trendy Açaí Bowls and the TikTok-famous Dubai Chocolate Strawberries.

Nicole works side-by-side with butcher Tara Hughes, who has been with Monette’s for 22 years. “We make a great team,” Nicole said. With just the two of them running daily operations, the Market is currently hiring as they look to expand their team.

Monette’s Market is open Tuesday through Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM, and Saturdays from 9 AM to 2 PM.
