Much more than a list of "deer-resistant" plants, this book takes the reader into the garden, detailing cultural requirements, bloom length, seasonal interest, landscape use, companion plants, maintenance, and propagation for each plant. This is a reference tool for all gardeners, in deer country or not.

I was elated to review this book because living in Austin, Texas we are inundated with deer and they eat everything in sight. Being continually challenged by the deer in our back yard we have resorted to living with the deer and working around their environment. Carolyn Singer’s book, “Deer in My Garden, Volume 1: Perennials and Subshrubs” is our godsend.
What is really great about this book is not only is there a list of deer-resistant plants but also
description with a photo, cultural requirements, companion plants and landscape uses, and maintenance. All this information gives the gardener a concise and informative avenue to create a garden that is pleasing to the eye and resisted by our four-legged neighbors.
Carolyn Singer’s “Deer in My Garden” is not only a necessary resource for gardeners with a large deer population in their area, but for beginners wanting to learn what plants are environmentally conducive to their specific area. This much needed tool is a must-have for every gardener, and for
me, it’s a keeper.
