What do you want out of a 'rabbity' garden?
What does your rabbit want out of it?
How to design a rabbity garden; - where to put the living accommodation (yours and theirs)
the question of fences - which sort are best?
What plants are edible and which aren't;
What plants are poisonous?
plants for shade and sun;
Are any plants pretty, edible but will not be eaten by free ranging rabbits? (answer - no)
Useful books etc.
There will be a 'hands on' of plants both from here and also if we are missing any essentials - I will buy some in from the garden centre /nursery near by so you all get to look.
Also handouts of garden plant pictures and lists of names
How to plant for all Seasons (yes there IS winter planting!!)
The role of fruit trees in a bun's garden (and tum)
