Rabbits are adorable fluff balls that love visiting our Michigan landscapes. These cuties may seem harmless, but they can do some serious damage to your plants and turn any animal lover into an Elmer Fudd. Not only does their consistent feeding cause damage on an aesthetic level, it can also cause damage beyond repair, costing you excessive money and time. These fluffy eating machines can destroy your beautiful landscape in a matter of minutes. 

There are many ways to reduce the number of rabbits in your landscape. Fencing or trapping does work, but these methods may not be right for an animal lover or the gardener trying to obtain a seamless look. Luckily, there is a natural way to coexist with the rabbit population, which includes using plant species that are not tasty to them (see list below). This will keep the fluff balls out of your garden without causing any harm to the aesthetic of your landscape or to the rabbits themselves.
