Rhonda Massingham Hart compels us to understand the deer and its life by going into details of their traits and habits.

She lists deer resistant plants and includes some roses which seem to be less appetizing than others. Not surprising her list comprises many herbs, such as Rosemary, Oregano and Thyme. She organizes her selections into several garden plans based on what kind of setting you may have. There is a comprehensive review of fencing methods and repellants that are currently on the market. And, while we do NOT condone the use of electrical dog collars or thiram fungicide sprayed on your plants, this is a most thorough discussion that should be read by all who have suffered deer damage to their gardens.
