Overview

This hardworking advice from Karen Chapman will help homeowners keep deer away through smart garden design strategies and deer-resistant plant options. Deer are the most common problem a gardener can face. These cute but pesky animals think home-grown flowers and vegetables are delicious, and they can quickly devour hundreds of dollars' worth of plants. Common solutions often include the use of harsh chemicals or unattractive fencing. In her new book Deer-Resistant Design, Karen Chapman offers a new option - intentional garden design choices that help keep deer at bay. Chapman showcases real home gardens across North America that successfully coexist with wildlife. Each homeowner also shares their top deer-resistant plants, all welcome additions to a deer-challenged gardener's shopping list and guaranteed to put the fun back into nursery visits. A chapter on deer-resistant container gardens provides suggestions for making colourful, captivating, and imaginative containers. Lushly illustrated and filled with practical advice and inspiring designs ideas, Deer-Resistant Design is for every home gardener looking for beautiful, natural ways to keep deer out of their gardens. AUTHOR: Karen Chapman established her award-winning landscape design business, Le Jardinet, in 2006. She is co-author of two books, Fine Foliage and Gardening with Foliage First, and her articles and designs have been featured in many online and print publications, including Garden Design, Fine Gardening, and Better Homes and Gardens. She lives and gardens on five rural acres in Duvall, Washington, where she is still trying to outwit the deer.
