Here in Eastern Canada, we had to have a fence when we began, not to keep
out vandals but rather, the deer. Our garden is located in the city of Saint
John right across from the entrance to the largest public park in the
country.
Now in our sixth year, we are noticing that plots are being plun
If you want the path to be open and want to cut down on vandalism, one
alternative is a fence to mark boundaries, and gates (open or latched) to
mark the paths. Especially when plants are small, it's a good idea to make
the boundaries and paths obvious. Sometimes nongardeners simply do not see
