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. -- back cover.
