CREATING A TOAD ABODE IN YOUR GARDEN:
THE BENEFITS AND INTERESTING BACKGROUND INFO ON OUR ‘HOPPY’ NEIGHBORS

Learn about and even listen to calls of our 4-legged, froggy friends! Some basic and interesting background info on the dozen and a half or so frogs and toads native to the capitol region. Frogs and toads are free and enjoyable insect and arthropod control agents for your garden! Why not provide them with a garden abode for resting, shelter and more? It’s easy to do, and benefits not only you, but your garden habitat and the local frogs and toads, too!
