Deer in My Garden, Vol. I: Perennials & Subshrubs

Gardening in deer-prone areas can be challenging, but with the right plant choices, success is possible. Deer in My Garden, Vol. I: Perennials & Subshrubs by Carolyn Singer provides a carefully researched guide to perennials and subshrubs that deer simply will not eat, based on the author’s direct gardening experiences in the West and Sierra foothills. If she has seen a plant even lightly browsed, it is excluded from her recommendations.

This practical reference is more than just a list—it includes detailed information on each plant’s description, bloom period, cultural requirements, seasonal interest, companion plant suggestions, landscape uses, propagation tips, and ongoing maintenance needs. The guidance is tailored to help gardeners create attractive, thriving landscapes that remain deer-resistant year after year.

With its 210 pages of expert advice, this book is an essential resource for home gardeners, landscapers, and property owners in deer country. Whether you are designing a new garden or refining an existing space, the strategies and plant selections outlined here will help reduce browsing damage and improve garden success.
