Marigolds repel deer?

My hubby and I enjoy watching the beautiful white tailed deer that come into our yard every day.  They are so graceful, and so gentle looking.  They remind me of the Bambi movie.  I have to laugh when I go onto Youtube and see videos of deer attacking hunters!  The deer can put up a fight when they are cornered!  Anyway, the deer have been munching on our hostas and spireas.  This has upset my hubby quite a bit!  I was talking about that to one of my new Red Hatter friends and she told me that she was told many years ago that planting marigolds in your garden will repel deer.  She said she has done it ever since and hasn’t had a problem with them since!  I’ll have to tell my hubby to go buy some marigolds!
