During the 2026 Art in the Woodlands\, I spent a blissful day painting this feature\, relying on sensory observation to create my piece. The bright spring day offered a multisensory experience: fragrant lilacs filled the air\, purple highlights adorned the woodsy plantings\, and the cheerful croaking of frogs paired with a gentle morning mist made for an idyllic\, tranquil painting session.” \n— Barbara Wentzell Jaquith \nWoodland Waterfall: Atlanta Botanical Garden\, 2026\nSennelier pastel on sanded velvet | 12 x 9 x 1 in \n \n

SUMMARY:Frog Feeding
DESCRIPTION:Saturdays at 10 a.m.: Drop by the Fuqua Conservatory lobby to watch the frogs jump into action when presented with their meals. An amphibian specialist will share fun facts and answer questions about these captivating creatures. \nPublic frog feedings allow visitors to observe one of the most interesting aspects of these amphibians – their feeding behaviors. Most frogs have long sticky tongues that shoot out at prey. Some\, like Poison frogs\, are able to do this with such incredible speed and accuracy that all visitors notice are flies disappearing. Others\, like the fringed leaf frog\, are dramatic feeders that stuff the crickets into their mouths with their hands.
