Any easy way of discouraging them rather than a battle of trying to keep
them out with mesh, etc.?

If you never had them(it) before, what's new or different?

There is not much you can do without a strong mesh fence (embedded at least
a foot into the soil), but.. try removing any piles of cuttings, low
covering plants, stone piles or other debris to prevent the rabbits from
hiding there. a place with little cover is not attractive to any intruders,
not just Rabbitts! Try planting garlic, onions or Mexican marigolds in your
garden. Hawks and owls are natural predators of rabbits, so you might
consider building nesting boxes for these birds. You could try sprinkling
around the garden pepper or talcum powder, or even setting out a section of
garden hose that may look like a snake to the rabbit....
