 One of these days, we'll count up the number of times "defensible space" is spoken on the air in a year. We suspect it's a significant number, because we live where wildfires happen, and people live near and even IN flammable landscapes. But creating a fire-resistant home is about more than just creating defensible space, more than clearing brush away from the house. Because there are a myriad of plants that can make a home pretty while not contributing to fire risk. Plant ecologists Adrienne Edwards and Rachel Schleiger write about the plants, home hardening, and more in their book Firescaping Your Home: A Manual for Readiness in Wildfire Country.
