Frog pond workshop

Join Anke-Maria from FrogWatch ACT in building a pond to create habitat for local frog populations at the Gungaderra community garden.

Build a Frog-Friendly Garden Workshop
— a workshop with a twist!

This isn't just another sit-and-listen session — it's learning-by-doing at its finest! Instead of only hearing about how to create frog-friendly habitats, you'll actually build a real frog pond on site during the workshop.

Join us for a fun, hands-on experience where we’ll work together to create a frog pond at the Environment Centre. You'll learn each step of the process and walk away with the confidence to build your own pond or bog at home, attracting frogs and other wildlife to your backyard.

Let’s get our hands dirty and build something beautiful together!
