[quote=Anonymous]Landscape Designer here. If you don’t want to
invest in a plan-do look at your neighbors’ yards a d think about what you like about their yards. If the front of your house faces north-use other north facing homes as your standard and factor in tree canopy. While I love color I achieve it with foliage as much as flowers and remember-every plant doesn’t need to be a star-you need some ‘supporting staff’ to bring out the best in the real gems.

Deer are a huge challenge but again-see what’s not being destroyed in the neighborhood and start there. I do not design gardens that need to have the netting to protect: I design using deer resistant plants BUT they still may get destroyed! By the way: There are absolutely roses that can do well in 4 hours of bright light (just google roses for shade or go to David Austin roses and look at their listings for shade. You’ll probably need to mail order but actually don’t because you have deer!!

Somewhat self serving but I’m booked through September: if you are ready to invest in a landscape pay someone to design for you! If you pick well you’ll get a garden that thrives and looks good all year.
