- During the Fire-Wise Garden Tour, this garden had its own Super Bloom of poppies!
- California native foliage enjoys the high, dry heat of LA summers, making it less likely to become fuel than much of the foliage marketed as “drought tolerant.”
- Well-hydrated tree canopy is also protective.
- This IdealMow Meadow of Carex pansa prevents embers from “bowling” toward the home. It’s also a great place to play!
- The dense thumb-sized leaves of California native oak trees provide dense shade and essential habitat. They withstand dry heat and our high-precipitation cycles, and many individuals have lived here for hundreds of years. Where there is space, oak trees make great street trees.
