Love your garden – A simple barrier fence can make all the difference

If rabbits have been nibbling their way through your garden, you’re definitely not alone – these unwelcome guests can cause a surprising amount of damage in a very short time. Young shoots, vegie seedlings, and native species are all favourites, often leaving gardeners frustrated and plants struggling to recover.

One of the simplest and most reliable ways to keep rabbits out is a well‑designed garden fence. This practical solution creates a physical barrier that protects your patch year‑round with minimal ongoing effort.

 

In a new video from the Hills and Fleurieu Landscape Board, staff member Susan Ivory visits Mount Barker resident and passionate gardener Mark Oborn to take a closer look at rabbit‑exclusion fencing—sharing practical tips, real‑life examples, and ideas you can apply in your own backyard.
