Event Details

With regional development and lack of predators, white-tailed deer are becoming our neighbors and often doing damage to our plants and trees. What is a gardener to do? This talk will discuss the problems deer cause to landscapes and suggest ways to mitigate the damage and plant in a way that discourages deer from choosing your yard as their lunch.
