Join horticulturists Ruth Rogers Clausen and Gregg Tepper for an entertaining and informative lecture inspired by their recent book Deer-Resistant Native Plants for the Northeast.

Presented by Gregg Tepper and Ruth Clausen
Gregg Tepper is a professional horticulturist, lecturer, consultant, and life-long native plant enthusiast. Early on in his career, he held the positions of Wood Path horticulturist and director of horticulture at Mt. Cuba Center in Hockessin, Delaware. He went on to be director of horticulture and board member at Delaware Botanic Gardens, where he was instrumental in developing the garden’s initial horticultural mission and implementing a two-acre meadow designed by world-renowned garden designer Piet Oudolf. He is now the horticulturist at the Arboretum at Laurel Hill and West Laurel Hill Cemeteries in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
British-trained Ruth Rogers Clausen is the author of 50 Beautiful Deer Resistant Plants, and co-author of Essential Perennials and The Proven Winners Garden Book, with Thomas Christopher, and Deer-Resistant Native Plants for the Northeast, with Gregory Tepper.

In 2017 she was awarded the Garden Media Award by the Perennial Plant Association. Her interest in deer-resistant plants resulted from moving house to Westchester Co., NY where deer pressure is heavy.
