Preventive deterrent by plant/ landscaping choices could offer deer resistance
Landscape Plants Rated by Deer Resistance- excellent consideration!

This publication can offers comprehensive detailing that might aid in making the right choices before planting. Regional differences in deer species and plants could apply.

Hope this helps!

  This list is awesome! Thank you! We have a blank slate in our backyard! Looks like it might also be an experimental test garden!

  Glad the list might be helpful!
  
  This was one of my my exam questions.
  Perhaps the other publication at the bottom might additionally help you. It has a smaller list of plants as well as deterrents.
  Classes and guest lecturer always suggest the “edu sites“ to be the most reliable to be recommended to clients and often have contacts for further information or resources contact departments.
  
  ...sorry nothing to offer experience or references regarding rabbits.....yet
