Frogs are the pulse of a thriving garden. To scientists, they’re an “indicator species,” so sensitive to environmental pollutants that their mere presence signals healthy air and water.
In “Frog Logic,” Nancy Lawson shares her observations from hosting frogs, and tips to creating a welcoming environment for these amphibian friends.
🚫 Skip the koi. These beautiful fish love to munch on tadpoles. Bye, bye, baby frogs.
🌿 Ditch the manicured lawn around your pond. Frogs love a bit of natural chaos.
💚 Embrace the murk. Sometimes, murky water is healthy water.
