DEER-RESISTANT DESIGN

Fence-Free Gardens that Thrive Despite the Deer

PROVEN SOLUTIONS for a Lush, Deer-Defying Garden

Deer can turn a vibrant garden into a sea of chomped stems and damaged trees. Deer-Resistant Design offers a welcome alternative to pungent chemicals and unattractive fencing: strategic designs that reroute deer, direct the eye from trouble spots, and layer deer-resistant plants beautifully. Throughout, real-world examples offer practical inspiration, including dramatic, deer-neutral focal points and container gardens. 

Karen Chapman is the owner of Le Jardinet, an award-winning landscape design company (lejardinetdesigns.com). She writes garden articles for many national publications and also offers a range of online learning opportunities. 

"Practical, inspiring, and beautiful. Chapman gives me new hope and tangible solutions for my own deer-challenged landscapes."
Joe Lamp'l, creator and host of PBS's Growing a Greener World and founder of joegardener.com
