Create a Frog Habitat: Jump Into the Frog Hotel!

Create a Frog Habitat: Jump Into the Frog Hotel!

Transform your backyard into a frog paradise these school holidays!

Ever wanted to improve the habitat in your backyard and make it friendly for frogs? Well, it's actually not that difficult! Join us for our inaugural Create a Frog Habitat Workshop and watch our amphibian friends jump into your frog hotel. It doesn't take much room - just as much as a 30cm pot and 30 minutes in fact! All that's required is a bit of our know-how and the frogs will come!

Perfect for children aged 4 to 11 years old and their families!

Why do I want to build a frog habitat?
Because frogs are garden game-changers! 

Benefits of frogs in your backyard: 

• Natural pest control – Keep those insect populations under control! One frog devours up to 10,000 insects per year! 

• Ecosystem health check – Frogs are very sensitive to the environment and having frogs around is an indicator that your local environment is healthy and thriving! 

• SAVE THE FROGS – Help protect declining Australian frog species. 

• Learning goldmine – Kids are fascinated by the lifecycle from tadpoles to frogs! There is so much to engage with and learn from frogs. 

• Low maintenance magic – Their habitat is self-sustaining once established! 

• Wildlife magnet – Attracts birds, beneficial insects, and other wonderful creatures.

• Chemical-free gardening – Nature's own pesticide alternative, free from harmful chemicals. 

• Magical evening soundtrack – Cute “ribbits” of the peaceful frog choruses on warm nights.
