Deer in My Garden, Vol. 2: Groundcover & Edgers

This volume follows the award-winning first book in a series of gardening books for deer country! Even gardeners who do not have deer will value this wealth of information from an acclaimed gardener and landscaper.

Volume 2 again takes the reader into the garden, with details on groundcovers:

• description
• bloom
• cultural requirements
• seasonal interest
• companion plants
• landscape use
• propagation
• maintenance

Plants are evaluated for their use as a single specimen in the rock garden, or as a large or small scale groundcover.

Softcover. 210 pages. Garden Wisdom Press 2008.

Use this volume to narrow a planting list for borders, slopes, and groundcover areas where deer pressure is common. Browsing varies with region, season, population, and available forage, so no plant should be treated as immune to feeding. Compare the author’s observations with local extension guidance, then protect new plantings until they are established and monitor how deer respond in your own landscape.
