As every one knows there is a time for everything and Fall is the best time to plant or transplant trees and shrubs. This mini course will cover the basic techniques of planting trees and shrubs, explain the importance of landscaping with native plantings to provide food and shelter for our local wildlife and divulge the secrets one needs to know to select  deer resistant plants.  Lists of native trees and shrubs, that help sustain our native insects/bees/butterflies and birds, will be provided as well as lists of deer resistant plant selections.
