This Saturday, November 6, join us for talks in the nursery yard, at 11:00 am and again at 1:00 pm.
“Will Deer Eat This?” is a familiar question at the nursery, and a very practical concern for many gardeners. Join us to hear from Gregg Tepper and Ruth Rogers Clausen, authors of Deer Resistant Native Plants for the Northeast who will address this question and talk about ways to manage deer in your garden. Bring your questions!
