The Frog on the Bog is Toadily Kermitted to Great Customer Service!
Frog on the Bog is a creative and unique gift store and gallery in Wells, BC.
We have a fabulous selection of gifts and clothing that are specific to the Cariboo, and which celebrate our two greatest assets: our amazingly rich and diverse environment, and our gold rush history. In addition to the funky and the funny, we also feature the works of many artists/artisans/authors from the Wells/Bowron area, from knitwear to photography and woodwork to pottery.
Besides being fun to say, our store is named after an environmental monitor. Frogs have been given the title of environmental signposts for a clean and healthy ecology, and we try to celebrate that with our store.
