This weekend families visiting Western Sculpture Park in St. Paul got to enjoy wildlife of a different sort. Artist Mary Johnson created a 14' rabbit out of rebar, lath and cement. Working with children from the neighborhood, Johnson created mosaic medallions from found objects that were embedded into the rabbits "hide." She used the hub caps from a '58 Ford for the bunny's eyes. His name? Max Rabbitat.
The dedication of the new addition to the sculpture park featured carrot cupcakes and a bunny hop.

Thanks for the information and for publishing a attractive website. I have been hunting for reliable information on gardening and will put these recommendations to use. I have found it hard to find reliable suggestions, as there are so many sites with garbage posts. Please keep the good stuff coming!
