The RHS Pollywiggle Garden
==========================

 Large Show Garden

Inspired by the local landscape and the need for more wetland areas in all UK gardens big and small, we aim to help garden owners make frogs and toads frequent and much-loved visitors. The garden space shows how domestic gardens can welcome amphibians without needing to appear untidy or overly wild. Lush planting surrounds a beautifully naturalistic pond, creating shelter and food for tadpoles, frogs and newts while maintaining an intentional, designed aesthetic.

A thoughtfully crafted boardwalk guides visitors through areas of wet and boggy ground, demonstrating how water can be embraced as an asset rather than avoided. Clever use of salvaged materials adds texture, sustainability and character, blending seamlessly into the landscape. The garden reflects a deeply personal inspiration: the designers' children have delighted in spotting frogs, gently rescuing them and building small habitat homes for their slippery friends. Ultimately, the garden offers a practical and enchanting blueprint for creating frog-friendly spaces at home.
