Find out how to provide shelter, breeding spots and food for the reptiles and amphibians in your garden! In this video we look closely at the best ways to make your garden more attractive to frogs, toads, newts and slow worms, as well as other reptiles and amphibians.
About The Wildlife Garden Project:
Imagine if everybody in the UK made just a few small changes in their garden to help our British wildlife. Think of the giant patchwork that could be created, all the habitats that could be formed, and all the mouths that could be fed. And you can do as much or as little as you like!
Here at The Wildlife Garden Project, our aim is to provide the information and inspiration for people across the country to create their own little patch for wildlife. So our team of volunteers has assembled together more articles, videos, photos and tips than you can shake a stick at, all in one handy location - www.wildlifegardenproject.com.
Get practical advice and information on gardening, identify the new creatures who have visited your garden, or find out more about them in our ever growing wildlife section and learn new tips and techniques with our videos. Ask for and offer advice and connect with other wildlife gardeners on our forum, and browse through our photos or even add your own in our gallery.
It doesn't matter whether you live in the countryside or in a city, whether you own 50 acres or just a balcony, everyone can do their bit. So sign up, watch the videos, read the info and join in the discussions in the forum, but most importantly, GET WILDLIFE GARDENING!

Interesting that he says a bit of shade really helps. Nearly all of the advice you see online recommends sunshine. I dug mine under a tree about a month ago and it looks really healthy with plenty of insects already. No amphibians yet - fingers crossed!

Me. An American: Boy, it must be nice to be able to dig into a compost heap with no gloves without fear of being bitten or stung by a venomous creature. All British people: Yes, I suppose it is. Gardening can be lovely….when it isn’t raining… We can even walk through our ancient mossy rain forests with bare feet too. If you can find one that is… Me putting on sunscreen: Wow! That must feel amazing! Those forests are beautiful too! Like something straight out of a fairytale! I could definitely imagine spotting a unicorn in a forest like that! British: Yeah. They’re nearly gone now, but we’re trying to grow them back… At least there’s SOMETHING that thrives in all this rain… It’s tough, though, with all the rabbits and red deer eating new plant growth. Not to mention the damage done by sheep and other non-native animals… Me putting on my made in the USA alligator skin boots and Burmese python snake skin belt: Yeah. We’ve got our own trouble with invasive non-native species…We’re managing though. At least they make for good hunting! Don’t taste too bad either if you fix em’ up right. Gator can make for some damn good fried chicken in a pinch! British preparing tea: You…EAT them? Me loading my shotgun, compound hunting bow, 1 foot hunting knife, and ammunition into my Ford F-150: Yeah! Might as well! Their skins make mighty fine leather products too! Gotta make the best out of a bad situation, right? Especially if you can make money from it. British quietly sipping tea while eyeing the bill for their overpriced apartment: …Quite… Me leaning out of my truck window: Well, good luck with your newts and toads or whatever. And, hey. If you’re ever in the mood for some good ol’ huntin’, fishin’, and grillin’, you’re always welcome. You know where to find me. *tips cowboy hat and speeds off in American* YEEEEEE-HAAAAAW! British: …*sigh*…

I live in a quiet place away from a main road but surrounded by development and roads. My garden isn't that big and I don't know if I'm going to attract amphibians by digging a pond. How would a frog/toad or newt be able to find my pond when it isolated from the nearest wild areas better yet, having to avoid countless possible hazards just to arrive at it? Are amphibians *that* good at finding water? Or is it not physically possible in a garden in a place like mine?

Will the frogs/toads spawn in a pond with goldfishes? Or I must choose between amphibians or fishes?
@marcod5027
@marcod5027 2 года назад
Goldfishes not only become very old (up to 60 years!) and breed easily, bit also eat indiscriminately and disturb the soil, which in turn induces algae blooms; so if you want amphibians and other local wildlife (insects and stuff), better not have goldfishes

Like will squirrels or possums eat toads? I read about cats killing them too. Peeing sounds like a good defensive mechanism.
