Want to Keep Deer Out of Your Garden This Summer?

How many times has this happened to you? You start your seeds while it is still winter, once the danger of frost has passed, you move them outside into your garden, you weed and water and wait. Then, just as you are about to see a flower or have a vegetable ripen, you go to your garden and it has been eaten, probably by a deer. I've lost track of how many times that has happened to me.

There is hope, however. Sullivan Renaissance will be holding a deer resistant gardening class on Saturday, June 25 from 10-noon at the Forestburgh Town Hall on King Road in Forestburgh.

This class is free and participants will have hands-on instruction at the recently renovated gardens in the Town of Forestburgh. If you would like to learn to garden using deer resistant annuals and perennials, this is the class for you.

Glove and tools will be provided, but you are more than welcome to bring your own gardening tools. Refreshments will be provided. To RSVP, please call 845-295-2445.
