Speaker: Adam Wheeler

 

Program: 

We have all experienced the disappointment that comes when you are anxiously waiting for plants to grow and bloom only to find that a deer came along and decided that it looked delicious!  This is the price of living in Easton and being surrounded by lovely woods and wildlife.  In this talk, Adam will help us to find some attractive and practical alternatives that the deer will not spoil.
