A Saturday feeding in the Fuqua Conservatory lobby offers a close look at frog behavior and a chance to ask an amphibian specialist questions. It is one part of the Garden’s broader amphibian education and conservation work.

A fringed leaf frog uses its hands to move crickets into its mouth—a different approach from the tongue strikes many people associate with frogs. At the Atlanta Botanical Garden’s Frog Feeding, visitors can watch a feeding and ask an amphibian specialist questions in the Fuqua Conservatory lobby.
The Garden’s description sets out contrasting feeding behaviors. It says most frogs use long, sticky tongues to catch prey; poison frogs can strike with such speed and accuracy that the movement may be hard to follow. The fringed leaf frog, by contrast, uses its hands to bring crickets into its mouth.
These examples give visitors a way to look closely at movement, but they are not a promise that a particular species will appear or feed at every Saturday session. The published format is straightforward: observe the feeding and bring questions to an amphibian specialist.

The Fuqua Conservatory lobby is also home to the Garden’s live amphibian displays, which include frogs the Garden describes as rare, endangered and poisonous. Its public programming connects that display setting with education and conversations with specialists.
The Garden’s amphibian work also includes research and conservation in natural settings. One distinct project breeds imperiled striped newts and releases offspring into the wild in hopes of rebuilding lost populations. That restoration work is separate from the public feeding, but it shows the wider context for the Garden’s amphibian education.

The recurring Saturday program combines watching frogs eat with an amphibian specialist sharing information and answering questions. The published description centers on observation and conversation rather than a sequence of separate talks.
The series page lists sessions on Nov. 7, 14, 21 and 28, and Dec. 5, 12, 19 and 26, 2026. The Garden calls Frog Feeding recurring but does not give a final date. The individual event listing provides a start time, not an end time or duration.
