Including this frog statue as her “garden mascot” is just one way Susan has made her garden space uniquely hers. Because the frog is in her front yard by the street, it also provides passersby with a delightful detail to observe as they walk by her house.
“There are two families in the neighborhood with little boys who always pass by on their nightly walk before bedtime to say goodnight to my frog,” Susan says. She plans to leave it there when she moves so the children don’t miss it when she is gone. Photo by: Susan Martin.
