Details:

Program: A large portion of home gardens and landscapes in Marin County are well-established and/or mature. But many may not be designed to deal effectively with wildfire. Homeowners with these gardens should begin to develop a fire-smart landscape design that protects structures while retaining or improving garden health, biodiversity and sustainability, e.g., support of beneficial wildlife, efficient use of water, development of a healthier natural environment. Where to begin? And how to progress?

 

Speaker: Bob Mauceli has been a Master Gardener for almost 17 years –8 in Marin and 9 in Monroe County NY, he is a co-founder and co-chair of the Marin Master Gardener (MMG) Native Plants Guild, co-chair of the MMG Garden Walks Project and an original member of the MMG Fire-smart Project Team. He is also a member of the California Native Plant Society, Marin Audubon Society, and a long-time birder. He talks about gardening with native California plants, building home habitat corridor gardens, attracting birds to home gardens, and turning home landscapes into wildfire-smart landscapes.
