A gardener captured a photo of a furry little guest enjoying their plants before it hopped away.
The cutest bunny was caught on the porch with its forefeet on the edge of a large pot.
"We had a visitor in our garden today," the OP wrote.
Wildlife loves a garden — especially a native garden. Gardeners have spotted all kinds of surprise visitors in their yards, from blackbirds and woodchucks to toads — even a fox. Native lawns provide essential resources such as food and shelter to animals. The flora and fauna rely on one another after years of evolving together.
Pollinators, in particular, thrive on native gardens. Responsible for 1 in 3 bites of food, per the Department of Agriculture, pollinators help a significant portion of crops reproduce. Next time you hear that bee buzzing around, remember that pollinators are the backbone of the food supply and crucial to healthy ecosystems.
Rewilding with native plants, wildflowers, or vegetables also comes with personal gains that minimize your carbon footprint and keep more money in your pocket. Natural lawns require way less maintenance than traditional grass lawns, reducing the amount of water, fertilizer, pesticides, and herbicides needed to keep a healthy lawn.

While the photo was praised and appreciated, many people warned the OP, with one saying, "Cute but destructive."
"That is very lucky," another user wrote.
"Cute visitor," someone else responded.
