The War Zone: Woodland, Cox's farm If you have ever tried to build a garden in competition with maurauding rabbits, who's sole ambition is to reduce the entire world to a barren desert, you will know what this conflict means.

Berberis and gold Not only does this combination make for an attractive all year feature, but if the plants are big enough, they can hold their own against an active rabbit population |
