Rabbits

Rabbits may be adorable to look at but they can wreak havoc in a garden. Rabbits love pretty much everything, including leafy green vegetables and ornamental plants. Make your garden less attractive to these critters by cleaning up wood piles and overgrown shrubs—the very places they like to hide. Chicken wire fencing may keep them out but not always. You can try sprinkling black pepper on plants to deter the rabbits, or you can plant plants the may just keep the rabbits away. According to Rutgers University, some of these rabbit-repelling plants include English ivy and forget-me-nots.
