A gardener just housed a new backyard neighbor, and both couldn't be happier.
In an adorable TikTok, a tiny frog decided to move into the backyard habitat that a mom and her young child built from broken pots and leftover garden supplies.
The video, posted by creator iwannabekhalo (@iwannabekhalo), shows the little amphibian perched inside its new home as the mom exclaims in the voiceover: "He looks so happy."
@iwannabekhalo Made a frog habitat out of broken pots and old garden supplies for the frogs that keep visiting us! Our little one loves small critters so this was a fun and simple project that took only 40 minutes. Didn't expect them to move in this fast 🐸 Would you try this? #Backyard #GardenTok #GardenHacks #Frogs ♬ original sound - iwannabekhalo

Beyond being adorable, this tiny visitor is a great example of what can happen when you rewild your yard using native plants and wildlife-friendly features.
Native gardens require far less water, fertilizer, and maintenance than a traditional grass lawn, meaning you save money and spend less time mowing, watering, or troubleshooting burned-out patches.
Healthier landscapes also support more life. Everything from frogs to birds to helpful insects. As seen in this TikTok, even small backyard projects can become thriving micro-habitats.
Native plants provide shade, moisture, food, and cover, creating pockets where species can rest, feed, and reproduce. Tiny encounters like this frog sighting offer clear, real-world proof of what happens when people make small changes in their yards.
