Moles, Gophers, and Deer. OH MY!

Sherwood Demonstration Garden

6699 Campus Dr.

Placerville, CA

9 am to noon, September 12, 2026

Learn how to deal with deer, voles and gophers in your garden. First, we’ll dig into the biology of each; what they eat, where they live, how they reproduce and how to identify them. We’ll look at what they like/dislike, when they are most active, and the damage they can cause. Then we’ll pursue management techniques for each pest. We’ll display samples of traps and fencing. Afterward we’ll tour the Sherwood Demonstration Garden to get a close up look at plants with a deer resistant tag that you may be able to incorporate into your garden.
