Ok, we were tempted to make this a warning to Elmer Fudd instead, but newspaper tradition stopped us. (and that some readers might say, ‘Elmer who?’) But at the perennial garden at the Sue B. Hart Perennial Garden inside Elizabeth Park, the area really is fenced off to protect the plants from rabbits. (Be warned too, Peter Rabbit). The garden clearly gets a lot of love from people too.
