Fighting Fire with Flowers Video

Get design tips and learn techniques to create beautiful gardens that will protect homes from wildfire, with host Ciscoe Morris. Colorful bedding plants, fire resistant trees, rock gardens, pathways and patio planters can all be part of a fire safe garden landscape. Video length is about 20 minutes.

'Ciscoe on Fire' focuses on garden plants that are easy to find in local garden centers and nurseries. See our online Native Plant Guide for photos and profiles of fire-resistant Northwest natives.
