Gardening comes with its perks, and they’re not always the kind of perks you’re expecting.
A Reddit user shared a post on the r/gardening subreddit showing that their native garden brought all the frogs to the yard.

During a daily morning peruse through the garden to spy slumbering bees and fresh blooms, the Seattle gardener found little green visitors instead.
Four photos show tiny little frogs living their best life on the flowers, in the flowers, on the leaves, and everywhere in between.
“Attention all frogs! There’s a party in my garden and you’re invited,” the original poster wrote. “I find their presence to be the highest compliment. They’re all over my garden.”
Indeed, their presence is a huge compliment, as frogs are extremely sensitive to pollution and toxins, making them bio-indicators of healthy environments. A frog in your garden is like an official stamp of approval from Earth herself.
