Gardening with Dani Collins

 Two summers ago, I put potted flowers on the upper balcony next to my office and wound up with tree frogs living in them.

 


At first, I was a tiny bit alarmed because I discovered the first one

*coming out of my office.* There’s a screen door onto the balcony

and one evening I accidentally left it open.



I came upstairs to go to bed and there was the young, cursed prince

in our upper hallway, sitting there looking very confused. I had to get

a plastic container to trap him and take him downstairs and leave him

outside.

 

Then I realized they were spending the days in the freshly watered

planters—and sometimes taking a swim in the watering jug!

(Good thing I don’t use chemical fertilizers.) At night, they would

climb the screen and eat the bugs.

 


Last year, I had a busy publishing schedule so I didn’t make up any

planters. I didn’t want the hassle of watering them, but I really, really

missed my little friends so I’m thinking of doing it again this year,

hoping they come back.

 

Fun fact: If you sign up for my newsletter, you can read a story

loosely based on The Frog Prince called The Forgotten Prince.
