Gardening in Deer Country - *REGISTRATION FULL*
Friday, May 23
10:00am
*Registration for this event is full. Please email woodfieldm@sandhills.edu to be added to the waitlist.
Here in the Sandhills, deer are a reality in our gardens. Just ask your hostas how
they feel about that! As we know, it’s not only hostas that they love to munch on.
Come and learn about a few tactics to deter them, but more importantly learn about
plants that deer don't prefer to eat!
This event is FREE
Limit 100 people.
