Fire-Resistant Plants You Can Add to Your Landscape

The Lincoln County Master Gardener™ Association, in collaboration with and support of the OSU Extension Service Master Gardener™ program, invites you to attend this FREE and informative class taught by Certified OSU Extension Service Master Gardener™ Julie Roth-Carter. Fire-resistant plants are those that don't readily ignite from a flame. Their foliage and stems do not significantly contribute to fuel and fire intensity. In this class, Julie will review the groundcovers, perennials, shrubs and trees that are fire-resistant. Keep in mind that fire-resistant does not mean fireproof!
