About Carolyn Singer


Carolyn Singer has been gardening since she was a young child. Early horticultural lessons were from her parents, first in Berkeley, and then in Sebastopol, California. Extended family in Sonoma County were all gardeners, adding to Carolyn's enthusiastic connection with the earth. Gardening in the Denver area for eight years, and camping in the beautiful Rocky Mountains were influential in her growing interest in rock gardening.

Since 1977, on her property in the Sierra Nevada foothills near Grass Valley, California, she has been testing hundreds of perennials for their performance and deer-resistance. Carolyn's perennial nursery, Foothill Cottage Gardens, and display gardens in Grass Valley were open to the public for 25 years. Her nursery was recognized nationally in several publications: (Organic Gardening, Fine Gardening, Country Gardening, Sunset) and in Taylor's Guide to Specialty Nurseries.

Deer in My Garden, Vol. 1

Much more than a list of "deer resistant" plants, this book takes the reader into the garden, detailing cultural requirements, bloom length, seasonal interest, landscape use, companion plants, maintenance, and propagation for each plant. This is a reference tool for all gardeners, in deer country or not. The book has won numerous honors, including "Best Gardening Book" from USA Book News.

Deer in My Garden, Vol. 2

This volume follows the multiple award-winning first book in a series of gardening books for deer country!

Even gardeners who do not have deer will value this wealth of information from an acclaimed gardener and landscaper.

Volume 2 again takes the reader into the garden, detailing cultural requirements, bloom length, seasonal interest, landscape use, companion plants, maintenance, and propagation for each groundcover. Plants are evacuated for their use as a single specimen in the rock garden, or as a large or small-scale groundcover.
