About this title

Synopsis

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.

"For Northeastern gardeners―all of whom battle the serious problem that is deer browsing―this is definitely one for the library.” ―GardenRant

The benefits of native plants are plentiful―less upkeep, more pollinators, and a better environment. In Deer-Resistant Native Plants for the Northeast, Ruth Rogers Clausen and Gregory D. Tepper provide a list of native plants that have one more benefit―they are proven to help prevent your garden from becoming a deer buffet.

From annuals and perennials to grasses and shrubs, every suggested plant includes a deer-resistance rating, growing advice, companion species, and the beneficial wildlife the plant does attract. Let these beautiful natives help your landscape flourish!

For gardeners in Connecticut, Delaware, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, Virginia, West Virginia, and Washington, DC.
