The Fire Wise Garden - Cupertino

Featuring Guest Speaker: Rich Casale, Wildfire Recovery Specialist

In California, fire season is no longer limited to just one part of the year—and your landscape can play a powerful role in protecting your home. Join us for a special class led by natural resource expert Rich Casale, who has helped thousands of Californians recover from wildfire and storm damage across the state.

You’ll learn:

· How to reduce fire risk through thoughtful garden design

· Which plants are better choices in fire-prone areas

· Simple, practical tips for creating defensible space around your home

· What to avoid when it comes to mulch, irrigation, and plant placement

Rich brings decades of hands-on experience working with vineyards, forest lands, and home landscapes—plus insights from over 1,000 post-fire site visits since his retirement from the USDA. This is a unique opportunity to learn directly from one of the state's leading voices in fire recovery and prevention.

This class is free and exclusive to our Cupertino location. Space is limited—reserve your spot today!
