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. Deer are an ever-present problem in gardens across the northeast. In Deer-Resistant Native Plants for theNortheast, Ruth Rogers Clausen and Gregory D. Tepper offer a solution - native plants that deer simply don't eat. The plant profiles in this book include a deer-resistance rating, hardiness zones, height and spread, and a description that highlights additional species, suggested companion plants, and details on the wildlife each species attracts. Deer-Resistant Native Plants for the Northeast includes annuals, perennials, ferns, grasses, sedges, and shrubs, and a brief introduction begins each plant-type chapter. This practical, authoritative, full-colour guide is a must-have for home gardeners throughout the region. AUTHORS: Ruth Rogers Clausen received a Quill and Trowel Award from the Garden Writers Association and has written for the American Garden Guides series. The former horticulture editor for Country Living Gardener magazine, Rogers Clausen contributes to Country Gardens, Brooklyn Botanic Garden's Handbooks, and Reader's Digest Books. 150 colour photographs
