This session introduces basic maintenance and pruning techniques for a new reality: wildfires. Discover essential maintenance and pruning techniques tailored for the new reality of wildfires. Join us for an immersive walk and talk, where you'll uncover the when, why, and how behind cultivating a garden that is resilient to fire.
This class will be held outdoors in our demonstration gardens. We ask guests to wear closed-toe shoes and long pants, and to prepare for up to one hour of walking on steep and uneven surfaces. Water bottles and sun protection are also strongly encouraged.
Erik Blank is a long-time California native plant enthusiast with professional experience in restoration, installation and maintenance. He joined the TPF staff in June of 2020 working in Horticulture and Education.
This class is made possible in part by Edison International.
