Yes, deer are definitely something to be factored in. My son has so far planted lots of native sword fern along the foundation, a couple rhodies, an existing holly and a threadleaf cypress. I believe he now has something along the lines of a landscape plan, which I have not yet seen. I bought him a lovely oak leaved hydrangea for his birthday which the deer promptly ate to the ground even though it was tagged as deer resistant. I can provide native vine maple and more ferns from my back woodlot. Salal would be a good addition, although I have had a hard time transplanting that. It grows along the ditches uproad from me and I think it is OK to pull it out before the County cleans the shoulder. Good thoughts, thanks.
