This beginner-friendly guide for gardeners in the Northeast addresses two of the biggest concerns a gardener has: keeping out deer and adding native plants. Deer are an ever-present problem in gardens across the northeast. In Deer-Resistant Native Plants for theNortheast, Ruth Rogers Clausen and Gregory D. Tepper offer a solution - native plants that deer simply don’t eat. The plant profiles in this book include a deer-resistance rating, hardiness zones, height and spread, and a description that highlights additional species, suggested companion plants, and details on the wildlife each species attracts. Deer-Resistant Native Plants for the Northeast includes annuals, perennials, ferns, grasses, sedges, and shrubs, and a brief introduction begins each plant-type chapter. This practical, authoritative, full-colour guide is a must-have for home gardeners throughout the region.
