Native planting with deer browsing in mind

Ruth Rogers Clausen’s guide brings together two practical concerns for Northeastern gardeners: choosing native plants and reducing damage from deer browsing. Its selections span annuals, perennials, grasses, and shrubs, with each entry offering a deer-resistance rating, growing advice, companion-plant suggestions, and information about wildlife the plant can attract. The regional scope includes states from New England and the Mid-Atlantic to parts of the Southeast, as well as Washington, DC. The book frames native planting as a way to support pollinators and the broader environment while making landscape choices with deer pressure in view.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Beginner gardeners in the Northeast seeking guidance on native plants.
  • Gardeners looking for plant options with deer-resistance ratings and growing advice.
  • Those interested in native planting, pollinators, and wildlife-friendly landscapes.

Book overview

This beginner-friendly guide for gardeners in the Northeast addresses two of the biggest concerns a gardener has: keeping out deer and adding native plants.

"For Northeastern gardeners--all of whom battle the serious problem that is deer browsing--this is definitely one for the library." --GardenRant

The benefits of native plants are plentiful--less upkeep, more pollinators, and a better environment. In Deer-Resistant Native Plants for the Northeast, Ruth Rogers Clausen and Gregory D. Tepper provide a list of native plants that have one more benefit--they are proven to help prevent your garden from becoming a deer buffet.

From annuals and perennials to grasses and shrubs, every suggested plant includes a deer-resistance rating, growing advice, companion species, and the beneficial wildlife the plant does attract. Let these beautiful natives help your landscape flourish!
