Encouragement to keep planting in deer country

We are in the Blue Ridge Mountains so deer are plentiful and they eat everything. We started this native plant project in 2020 and were very discouraged how the deer were eating everything. Our strategy was the overwhelm the deer and overplant with natives. Last fall was first time we saw golden rod that we planted in 20,21. Right now we are seeing trillium pop up from 2022. Those are just 2 examples and the season is early, but we planted every year no matter what, and we are so pleased to see what is coming up, and we hope you consider overwhelming the area with natives. If you are in an area where you must consider if the milkweed will overtake the joe pye for instance, that is a lovely dilemma. Keep planting natives, every year, and you will be delighted later on.
