Here's something interesting. Found this looking over Sandy's web site. http://www.deerproofyourgarden.com/
Apparantly Solon co-sponsored the April 2009 seminar in Pepper Pike. Does anyone remember hearing about that?
If you like, I can try to put something together over the weekend.
This is great. I have a terrible headache so will write an intro for Sandy in the AM.
I have a lovely photo of her. She is very pretty
Found this very brief mention in the minutes for Council:
Council 10047 April 20, 2009
COMMENTS FROM THE ADMINISTRATION:
Mayor Patton said Sunday is the Earth Day celebration and encouraged residents to attend at the Community Park Parking lot.
Mayor Patton said on Saturday, April 25th, Solon will co-sponsor a seminar regarding options for deer proofing gardens. The seminar will take place at the Daisy Hill Nursery in Hunting Valley and at the Orange Public Library. Information is available on the city website and there is no cost for the seminar.
Maybe this is why they ignored her attempts to contact them. They figure they've already done the seminar. "Too bad if you missed the mention!"
I do but it was barely a bleep on the radar. When I brought her here the first time she presented at Petitti's, Eagle Creek, Seven Hills Rec center (the mayor let us use it for free) and the Aurora parks and rec center. Every venue was packed. I got her on the Sat morning radio show too with Anthony Petitti. It was a huge success and both garden centers asked her to come back. People LOVE her. She really knows her stuff. She shows a video interviewing people that have beautiful gardens, tons of roses even.
The OH State Master Gardeners extension co-hosted the Seven Hills venue.
The guy that won the Scarecrow (over $100) at the Eagle Creek seminar said to me last year that even his Day Lillies have come back and the Scarecrow works like a charm. Unfortunately he will not go public. Sandy asked him to take photos of his yard and he could be anonymous. No reply. What is wrong with people.
The folks in Grand Haven MI started what they call their Deer Garden or something like that and Sandy gave a presentation there. Actually that's a really great idea for us to propose. A community deer friendly garden. We can teach the lets kill to protect tulips crowd it can be done!
