    Add trailing lantana to the list of possibilities. It is an annual north of zone 9, I believe.

    You can grow plants along the ground that are usually run up a trellis. Trailing nasturtium is an annual that fills in an area nicely and has edible leaves and flowers. Cardinal vine, even bougainvillea can be allowed to ramble along the ground. A climbing rose can be pegged to the ground and made to grow horizontally. The problem with all new groundcovers is the need for frequent weeding until the groundcover is dense enough to suppress weed germination.

    It is difficult to make recommendations without knowing your growing zone or region.
    You can visit local garden centers for trees available in your zone.
    Look around your neighborhood for ideas in trees that are growing and catch your eye.
    Call your local County Extension Office for a list of recommended trees for your zone.

    Can you include you USDA zone? This will help me to recommend plants that will be suitable for your area. Also, is the area full sun, shade? Any other information about where you intend to plant will help me to give you better guidance on what to plant.

    This will depend on your climate zone. If you can include this information, then I will be able to give you the best choices suited for your environment.

    Finding something that rabbits won't eat will be difficult. The best method will be to find something that spreads so quickly that their eating will not bother the plants. I will need to know your USDA zone to better give you a recommendation of the plants that you can use.

    In the meantime, here is an article that will give you examples of general groundcover that will do well in shade: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/special/shade/ground-covers-for-shade.htm
