From a place well known, a span made of stone.
Was a great site but far from a swamp.
Items to be gifted, therefore shifted.
Be careful of what flora you stomp.
The official meaning of the clue.
* “A span made of stone” is a reference to the old Crosby’s Mansion called Stone Bridge. Once the mansion was torn down they gifted Como Park with the gates to the mansion and the frog from his garden, as known as the frog pond today.
* Frogs thrive is swamps, hinting to hunt near the frog not the gates.
* Last line is a warning to not hunt in all the nearby gardens, conservatory, Japanese, and enchanted gardens.
