OH DEER! Coping with Bambi in the Garden

Yes, it IS possible to garden in deer country; but first, you'd better find out how to deal with those wily antlered creatures. Bob Hornback (who manages to live with deer every day in his wooded garden) will show you tried-and-true techniques -- including plant selection, repellents and protective barriers -- that will help your garden coexist peacefully with Bambi and his friends and relatives.

The class is offered by the San Francisco Botanical Garden Society and will be held in San Francisco, CA.

Saturday, July 11, 9:00 a.m. -12:30 p.m.

Members $45.00; Non-members $55.00
