| Green frog. J. Schaeffer |
A new species has been spotted in the Children's Garden pond--the green frog. So far we've only seen one lonely soul, but it marks the fourth amphibian species that has called the pond home for some life stage, along with the wood frog, American toad, and gray tree frog. This important water feature makes a critical contribution to the biodiversity of our ecosystem garden, providing an important habitat component for a variety of birds, insects and amphibians that help control insect pests.
