Tomorrow is the big day! I’m preparing for a day-long visit to Hartwick College, as a Foreman Performing and Creative Arts Grant Program recipient. Working with Professor Fauth, I’ll be touring the campus with the Beautification Committee to offer maintenance advice; leading a landscape design workshop and a planting workshop at the main entrance into campus. Snacking deer are becoming such a ubiquitous pest, that it almost seems as if there is nothing that they won’t eat. However, these images show some of the sun-loving and shade-loving plants around McLallen House B&B that are thus far deer-resistant.
