Molly and David transform an Orlando backyard into a haven for tree frogs. A healthy population of frogs often indicates a healthy environment, so creating a proper habitat for this leggy amphibian is a responsible and attractive way to invite wildlife into your surroundings. On this episode a water feature, complete with a bubbling fountain and colorful plants, becomes the centerpiece of a yard fit for a frog — and a family of four. A wildlife expert gives the lowdown on the best Florida tree frogs to have in your backyard, while David tracks down an invasive species you'd want to discourage from moving in.
