April showers brings May flowers; and that's why April is National Gardening Month, a time for gardeners to get outside and start planting spring flowers. 

There are many plants to sow and grow in April including: 

• Carrots
• Cauliflower
• Lettuce
• Peas
• Onions
• Spinach
• Basil
• and much more!

DeerbustersCanada encourages gardeners across Canada to get involved in gardening events this April. Join a garden club and meet local gardeners or work in a community garden. 

Because April is the best month for spring gardening, home growers should consider installing a 7.5-8' foot high deer fence around flowerbeds to keep deer away from plants. The above list of plants are liked by deer, rabbits and other small critters; and that is why planting deer-resistant flowers is best as a secondary barrier. Plants for deer resistance include: daffodils, marigolds, sage, aster and peonies.
