to at least move the rhody
collection and whatever ferns and perennials aren't easily replaced.

If you move to a *real* rural woodland setting you won't need to
landscape, you'll have the real deal... any parking out will look
absolutely fake. And unless you first build a sturdy fenced area most
any plant you bring will be devoured by deer (and rabbits).


I live in the middle of the city and deer have destroyed over 50% of
what I planted. The deer killed the neighbors fruit trees by peeling
off the bark. I either use the electric fence or cover the plant
with chicken wire. In my case it doesn't look like there is any
difference living in the city or country.
