Here is a very nice article around building a garden with deer resistant plants. It is from About.com. The rest of the article is here.

Landscapers typically select drought-resistant plants when designing rock gardens. But in regions where deer control is an issue, your rock garden plants should also be deer-resistant. Below I discuss four perennials that should aid you in your deer control measures. These plants are both deer-resistant and drought-resistant and can be grown most anywhere in the continental U.S. (and across corresponding temperate zones).
