We're moving to a new house that backs up to a wooded area where deer are known to be. Any plats, shrubs or flowering trees that deer won't eat?

What is the location and lighting?
It depends on the area of the world that you live in, what plants/shrubs/trees will grow in your area.

Deer will not eat Begonias or Daffodils. Try Liquid Fence for other flowers. Impatiens and most flowering plants will stand up to the Liquid Fence. Make sure after heavy rains that you reapply. Otherwise, maybe once every month or 6 weeks reapply to keep the deer away.
I have lived in an area where deer are always around, but as much as I love the beauty of the animial, they wreck havac on my veggie garden!!!! The ONLY thing I have found that works is planting no less than 2 rows of marigolds around the entire garden, good luck!

This is a good article on it, and they also have the recipe for liquid fence. http://www.homeandgardeningideas.com/50-deer-resistant-plants/2/
