Do you live in a high or very high fire severity zone? Are you interested in learning how to protect your home from wildfire and the embers that threaten it? Whether you are starting from scratch or making adjustments to an existing garden, this introductory class will increase your understanding of the techniques used to create a Firewise garden. An all-encompassing overview that will help you understand how to assess, map, and design your home while considering the evolving guidelines pertaining to fire safety on your property. Afterward, we'll have time to visit the nursery and get aquainted with some of the species ideal for your plans!
A small portion of this class will be held outdoors. We ask guests to wear closed-toe shoes. Water bottles and sun protection are strongly encouraged.
