Creating a wildlife garden

Our Gardening Club at Rough Hay Community Room are working with national wildlife charity Froglife to make the community garden even better for wildlife. They’ve made a bog garden for frogs and are looking to creating a nature highway so wildlife can move more freely.

Here are some easy ways you can attract frogs to your outdoor space:

  • Keep a section of your grass longer – Provide frogs with the perfect place for foraging and shelter.
  • Create a frog shelter – An upturned flowerpot propped open with a stone makes the perfect frog housing.
  • Provide water – Place several smaller containers of water in shady areas for frogs to sit in.
  • Build a log pile – Help out frogs and toads by building a safe damp place for them to hibernate.
