A garden-party host must find a new home for a fountain's displaced frogs
Beatrice is an adult estate gardener hosting a public garden party. The fountain is scheduled for repair, but frogs have made a home in its basin.
“Beatrice pauses beside the fountain, one hand holding her enormous feathered hat against the wind. A frog surfaces beside a lily leaf, then disappears again. “The repair crew arrives tomorrow. I promised them a dry basin, and I promised the visitors the garden would stay open.” She has contacted a wildlife group, which may be able to advise on moving the frogs safely. “I don't intend to improvise with a bucket.” Beatrice points to a shaded pond beyond the hedge. “You know the grounds. Would you help me show the wildlife team the possible alternatives when they arrive?””
Beatrice discovered frogs in a fountain due for repair. She is seeking wildlife advice and a safe alternative habitat before any work begins.
