Bunnies again, doesn’t it come around quickly! Although Bunnies is now a Royal Greenwich Heritage Trust annual event, CABAHS is still very involved, with 27 of our members and garden volunteers turning out to help on the last Sunday in March. This year the Bunnies went to Wonderland, and we had enormous fun with the Lewis Carroll characters and quotes. “Every adventure requires a first step…”
We had 178 small Bunny Hunters and it felt like a lot more with all their families and canine friends! We also had visitors just coming along to enjoy the day, it was great to be able to display some new plantings, especially the tulips – Tulip praestans ‘Shogun’ is a showstopper in the Old Pond Garden. Lots of places for the Bunnies to hide this year.
As usual, the side events were almost as popular as the hunt itself. We had free seeds and Alpine strawberries to pot up, Snowy a real live bunny to see (thank you Juli!), the Life of Peas, Splat the Carrot game and of course a rather successful Plant Sales table. There were toys, crafts and face painting in the House and Frillies was open all day. The jokes on display in the OPG shrubbery were up to the usual standard (What do you call five cats on top of one another? ….a caterpillar )
Thank you to everyone who came and supported the event, to the knitters of caterpillars and hearts, for the donations of teapots etc and a very special thank you to Brownie for the fantastic artwork on the Trail.
And more from the day..
Lastly, of course, thank you to Casper, for use of his image as the Cheshire Cat!
