Groundhogs can be a persistent nuisance in gardens, often destroying carefully cultivated plants. To protect your outdoor plant box from these voracious pests, choosing the right groundhog-resistant plants is essential. Here are some of the best options to consider:

1. Lavender – Its strong fragrance deters groundhogs, and it thrives in sunny, well-drained soil.

2. Rosemary – This aromatic herb is unappealing to groundhogs and adds flavor to your kitchen.

3. Daffodils – These spring-blooming bulbs contain toxic compounds that groundhogs avoid.

4. Marigolds – Their pungent scent repels not only groundhogs but also other garden pests.

5. Alliums (Onions, Garlic, Chives) – Their strong odor makes them a natural deterrent.

In addition to plant selection, consider reinforcing your plant box with wire mesh or fencing to further discourage groundhogs. Combining these strategies will help you maintain a beautiful and pest-resistant garden. Happy gardening!
