East End, Long Island Landscaping
April 20th, 2009 category: Real Estate News
With the first warm day providing an opportunity to add a few colorful bushes to our backyard landscaping, it occurred to me (as it must to many) that our front yard looks bare.
With a herd of deer enjoying the neighboring wooded lot, our front yard is little more to them than feeding time, and feed, they do.
Fencing in the back for dog containment has provided an opportunity to purchase plantings indiscriminately; no need to worry about a planting reduced to green stubs the following morning.
Even a planter with flowers placed very close to the front door has done nothing, in past seasons, to discourage the visitors, so the contrast from front to back is quite obvious.
A search provided the following site, with recommended deer resistant plants that might offer a bit of balance between the colorful back yard and the chewed up front yard!
I’d love to see some of these plantings remain; buying “fake” flowers to put in the front window boxes is an alternative that just doesn’t appeal the way that fragrant, living plants appeal.
