When you visit we’ll give you the most updated version of this list.
It’s not comprehensive, but it includes many of the plants you’re most likely to notice.
If you have a deer resistant, native plant favorite, hardy in zone 5 or 6, and don’t see it on the list, please let us know.
Thanks.

Thank you for opening your garden on 10/8. My brother and I enjoyed our visit. We were disappointed that the plants didn’t have a label; some other people also said that labels would be helpful. Being especially interested in NY natives we are always on the lookout for them in a garden setting. Maybe they could be keyed to the great list you provided.
The name of the book we used for his garden is “Revised checklist of NY State Plants” by Richard S. Mitchell and Gordon C. Tucker published by the University of the State of NY, The State Education Departmen, 1997.
Thank you , Jean Hyatt and Jim Johanson
