I live in a small town that's built like a suburb. My street is full of old men who obsess over their perfectly manicured lawn. That doesn't leave much room for the wildlife to safely hang out during the day. Plus all these lawns get cooked in the sun so it's a lot of patchy brown but perfectly manicured grass...

At least there is one spot for my bunny friend to hang out and safely enjoy the sun

I wish I could have more bunny gardens but I live with my elderly parents who need a lot of help so I can only push the boundaries so far. At least I've established one bunny garden which is good enough

    I live in the suburbs and I actually don’t mind the grass lawns here all that much. But the lawns here aren’t as big and extensive like the image posted, that’s just wasted space imo. They are smaller with patches of drought resistant plants. Folks who have vegetable gardens grow them in the backyard here because it’s the easiest way to prevent the canyon rats from eating everything.

    I’d love to have a bigger yard with a bunny garden like yours 💚

    I wouldn't mind other people's sunburnt lawns so much if it weren't for the deafening and polluting gas mowers these people use

    I live on a quiet street but the sounds of motors echos from streets away. I hate motors. Lifted pickup trucks, dirt bikes and lawn mowers all terrorizing my bunny friends...

    Yeah, I totally get that. My cul de sac has a gardener who does everyone’s lawns weekly. He has switched to an electric blower since his last one gave out, he’s going to switch the lawnmower too once his gas one gives out. But I only hear it once a month and my neighborhood is pretty noisy anyway since there are over 30 kids on my street and I live close to a school. They are always running around and making noise, but they are good kids, always kind and polite, and I knew that going in when we moved.

    My bunny friends go into the canyon every morning and eat my grass every night lol
