The Bunny Patch at Cottonwood Garden helps to feed residents of East Vancouver’s Bunny Cafe. It’s a place where humans can have a drink while hanging out with bunnies who are looking for a new home. The bunnies especially love fennel!

There’s a Bunny Cafe. They’re in the next neighbourhood over. They’re on Commercial and Venables. The stuff that they get when they clean out their cages is great for gardens and they have absolutely no use for it. So they offer a trade for us where we’re gonna grow them food. Bunnies like lettuce, lettuce is kind of expensive right now. They like fennel, which we have lots of. So we’re gonna grow them food in exchange for the contents of their bedding. So straw, which is a really great mulch. And then bunny poop is great because it’s one of the few manure that doesn’t, I think the only manure actually that doesn’t have to be aged. We can just like take it from the Bunny Cafe, throw it on our plots, which is wonderful. Whereas with other types of manure, you’d have to age it for a while cuz it could do damage to your plants.
There’s a Bunny Cafe. I know there’s a couple Cat Cafes in town as well. They have bunnies that are available for adoption. Yeah. It’s a great way for people who live in apartment buildings maybe and who don’t have pets, or can’t have pets to be able to socialize with some cute free creatures.
