内容简介

Deer...you love them or you hate them, but no matter what, deer have an appetite for delicious plants we plant in our garden and around our home. How can an animal that cute be so hungry? Fences and sprays and dogs just don't go far enough and most people stop short of venison surprise for dinner. What's a serious gardener to do? This book answers this question by presenting descriptions of trees, shrubs, annuals, perennials, ground covers, herbs, bulbs, and vines that deer don't like to eat. Drzewucki presents over 130 detailed plant descriptions including size, texture, habit, culture, and hardiness for each plant with accompanying illustrations showing full size, flower, and stem. An additional 100 plants are included in a list, rated by their level of deer attractiveness from 'best' to 'forget It'. The 23 page introduction discusses the problems, possible solutions, and planting techniques that every gardener who lives with deer should know.
