A life-long native plants enthusiast, Gregory Tepper has pursued this interest as director of horticulture at the Mt. Cuba Center in Hockessin, Delaware, and as founding director of horticulture at the Delaware Botanic Gardens. He is currently serving as horticulturist at the Arboretum at Laurel Hill and West Laurel Hill Cemeteries in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Through all these experiences, Gregg has become an expert at dealing with hungry deer and their browsing of his collections. Recently he teamed up with renowned horticultural expert and author Ruth Rogers Clausen to co-author a much needed book: Deer-Resistant Native Plants for the Northeast. Today Gregg will talk with Growing Greener about the book and the fence-free methods he and Ruth have developed for successfully deterring deer from the native plants garden.
