That's what we did, Brenda. Rabbit fencing around the perimeter, fastened to the picket fence on the inside so it doesn't show. Now to just keep an eye out for them digging under it . . .
And thanks for reminding me, we have not yet planted our marigolds! I wish we had better irrigation coverage, as we only have one hose bib serving 8 raised beds, so the perimeter fence doesn't get any water except rain. Last year we got enough to keep the marigolds going though.
