| Ken has been a member for over 40 years, although he hasn't shown flowers in quite some time. He now prefers to grow just for cut flowers for his home and for friends so he can show off our favorite flower. He raises about 30 plants a year in raised beds made of recycled flower pots. Ken's trick for keeping the deer out of his garden, fishing line. He strings it around the garden. It's hard for the deer to see and it confuses them, but it does not hurt them. |
