In this video, I share why I am working to make my garden fire-wise and how I went about reducing the risk of wildfires around my home. I’ll walk you through the simple yet effective steps I took, from choosing fire-resistant plants to creating defensible space and using fireproof materials. If you want to protect your property and reduce wildfire risks, these practical tips can help you fireproof your garden and keep your home safer.
