    Fire Safer Gardens

    In this episode, you’ll learn about fire safer gardening practices as we take a look at some of the underlying concepts used in the design and planting of the Pocket Forest on Mill Road, Lobethal South Australia. Don’t know what a ‘fire safer garden’ is? Basically, it’s about creating gardens using design principles and plants with lower flammability to reduce risk in areas that are prone to bush fire. So how do you do it, and what type of plants are good for this type of garden?
