Program Concerned about how to have a beautiful garden AND reduce the risk of wildfire reaching your home? Using photos of real gardens, the UC Marin Master Gardeners show participants how to grow gardens that are as attractive as they are firewise. This includes ideas for creating the all-important 0-5’ house perimeter, how to break up the continuity of plants on slopes, proper pruning and mulching guidelines, non-combustible hardscape materials that enliven paths and patios, and key maintenance practices. Participants can expect to walk away with a clear understanding of what to do (and not do) in their gardensSpeaker Bob Mauceli A Marin Master Gardener since 2014, 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
