Meet Lilly!

Have you met Lilly? She makes her home in the gardens of Green Spring Gardens, and we have it on good authority that she has been spotted near an arbor there! If you find Lilly in the garden, take a photo and tag us on social media using #FriendsofGreenSpring and #LillyatGreenSpringGardens.

Finding Lilly is more than just a fun game—it’s a reminder of the essential role frogs play in our ecosystems. Frogs help control insect populations, serve as a food source for other wildlife, and act as important indicators of environmental health. By protecting their habitats and supporting biodiversity, we’re also safeguarding our own future.
