As fire season approaches, our neighbors are gathering to learn how thoughtful plant choices can turn our yards into a vital line of defense. This expert-led workshop offers residents the tools they need to balance beauty with essential property safety.
The session pairs the environmental team at Upper Water with the University of California Master Gardeners. They’ll show us how to mitigate fire hazards through site-specific landscaping.
Participants will learn how to create defensible space without losing the charm of their personal gardens. It’s a practical way to protect our homes while keeping our local landscapes healthy.
