Author: Carolyn Singer
Publisher: Garden Wisdom Press
ISBN: 978-0-9774851-0-5
Deer are beautiful, graceful creatures. Many people watch them with awe
and great enjoyment.....unless, of course, you are watching as they
devour your garden. Carolyn Singer shares her vast knowledge of
horticulture and landscaping with the reader, along with her personal
experiences with ravenous deer. She spent more than 25 years planting
beautiful gardens only to watch the deer picnic on the flowers, leaves,
etc. She decided it was time to experiemnt in her garden and those of
her friends and neighbors. That began her quest to discover what her 3
year old grandson called "Yucky Flowers", yucky to the tastes of deer
and other wildlife.
Whether you are a novice gardener or an experienced grower, you'll find
this book invaluable. The first chapters cover the very basics of
planting, understanding growing culture and planting zones and seasons,
as well as different forms of planting and propagations. The plants in
the volume are well described with both scientific and common names,
information on the plant characteristics and size at maturity, ideas for
companion plantings and much more.
Written in an easy to read friendly style and efficient format, this is a
very valuable book for every gardening fan. It would be a wonderful
gift for the novice or experimenting gardener. I've been gardening for
years, and I learned so much from this book. I plan to keep it among my
permanent gardening references; in fact, it is so thorough and well
written it will replace several existing references.
