With increasing drought and fire risk, gardening and land management in the wildland urban interface (WUI) can seem daunting. In this talk, Nikki will address six elements of firesafe landscaping to consider when trying to tackle this hot topic. We will have lots of time for questions as we break down the pieces to creating a landscape that is beautiful, resilient, and habitat friendly.
