Watch and learn about the new virtual FireSmart Landscaping Hub and Plant Program! From the online resources to the program launched in over 30 garden centres, we are helping British Columbians make informed choices about how to manage their lawn and gardens and increase their resilience to wildfire.
Brian Minter, BC’s go-to gardening expert, reflects on gardening, climate change, and how FireSmart landscaping can help mitigate homeowners' risks when it comes to wildfire.
The FireSmart BC Plant program is one of the integral ways of educating British Columbians. Using clearly marked tags on plants found at home and garden centres, the program instantly shows customers, right at the time of purchase, which plants are considered more fire-resilient.
We teamed up with Art Knapp stores in Kamloops and Prince George; enlisting our favourite FireSmart messenger, Ember, to help get the word out about FireSmart landscaping.
