Features
For your education and enjoyment, Frog Watch presents several articles around the central theme of frog-friendliness. Please let us know what else you would like to see here.
Bonking in the Garden, a guide to frog-friendly gardening
The Why, How, and What of frog-friendly gardening - this is the indispensable introduction to attracting frogs to your garden.
This information is also available as a formatted PDF document suitable for downloading and printing as a booklet. See the frog-friendly section for details.
Community ponds
The Frog Watch team have carried out pond training at several locations around the state of Victoria. The pond training is largely practical so the added benefit of a training day is that the community is left with a relatively large pond ready for frogs to move in. You can see some of our ponds here.
Frog Watch Garden of the Year 2003
A large number of entries of great caliber meant that the judges of the competition for 2003 had a tough job on their hands. Rather than pick a single winner, they settled on two joint-winners and three special prizes. Learn about all the award winners and discover why we couldn't choose.
Frog Watch Garden of the Year 2002
One person who certainly knows a thing or two about frog-friendly gardening is Peter Hohaus, the inaugural winner of the Frog Watch Frog-friendly Garden of the Year. Here you can get a good look at his pond and learn a couple of his tips that have made his garden a roaring success.
Household greywater wetlands
Friend to frogs and fish alike, Lars Fields has graciously donated his guide to household greywater wetlands (also known as phytoremediation wetlands). Using a relatively small space in your garden, you can recycle 'grey' water from your household by filtering it through a wetland/pond system. In the meantime, the wetland provides a rich ecosystem to the frogs and other animals that visit your garden. Save water, save money, save the world!
