The deer problem in New Jersey gardens is a big one; Gregg Tepper has first-hand experience dealing with this issue on a large scale. He is the Senior Horticulturist for the Arboretum at Laurel Hill, which is comprised of two cemeteries, the East Cemetery located in the East Falls section of Philadelphia and the West Cemetery located in Bala Cynwyd, Pennsylvania, where there is heavy deer pressure.
Get answers to your deer problems as Gregg delves into his experiences with what he's found to be the best native, deer-resistant plants and creating a strategy for rebuffing deer with effective and safe natural deer repellent products.

Lots of good information, as usual.
The gardens around Matilda's Cottage are filling in nicely with lots of flowering plants, growing bulbs and newly leafed out shrubs. The Alpine Garden is a treasure of small plants and flowers, including a mass of tiny yellow flowers blooming amongst the rocks; unfortunately, the plant was not labelled and I am not familiar with it. I'd welcome an ID if anyone knows what it is!
