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. ⁠
⁠
⁠
For more on gardening with froggy friends in mind, read “Frog Logic” in our May/June issue at ahsgardening.org. ⁠
