I am already pretty much an outdoor/nature enthusiast. My favourite activity is to visit somewhere new, interesting or beautiful; or, even better, all three. Even something as simple as reading a book is better when done out of doors.
Today I was working another thirteen hour shift. I decided to photograph the garden of my workplace. There is a formal and fenced garden for the residents. Outside this is a green space which is neglected by humans and dominated by rabbits. This is where I usually take my breaks. I focused on the lawn which is so heavily rabbit-grazed that it is only mown once per year.A close look reveals that , although green, this lawn is mostly formed of moss. I know very little about moss, except that it is beautiful close-up. My camera cannot cope with such close range shots, so here are some of the herbs living in the 'lawn'.
 |
| Ground ivy. |
 |
| Stinging nettle. |
 |
| Daisy. |
 |
| Is this ragwort? |
 |
| Sow thistle. |
 |
| Spear thistle. |
 |
| A cultivated geranium escaped from the flower beds. |
 |
| An Alchemilla. |
 |
| White bryony. |
There was also field forget-me-not, but the photos were not in focus.
So if you want to plant up a garden that won't be wrecked by rabbits, these are my suggestions!
