Many of us feel the deer pressure as soon as we walk out into the yard and we have resigned ourselves that we must garden with them. Learn how to differentiate deer browsing from other mammalian herbivory and explore a variety of plants that are more deer resistant than others. Join the instructors in the trial garden to explore the results of deer herbivory data collected that may inform your plant selections. Class ends with a tour of the gardens. Class is rain or shine.
This program takes place in-person at Mt. Cuba Center Wednesday, October 15, 2025.
