The FireSmart BC Plant Program Toolkit

Your comprehensive toolkit for creating and maintaining fire-resilient landscapes throughout British Columbia.

About the Plant Program

The FireSmart BC Plant Program is a plant tagging initiative designed to help landscapers and gardeners identify fire-resistant plants at their local nursery, garden centre, or other point of sale.

Participating garden centres and nurseries—known as Plant Partners—are provided with these tags and other materials to help their customers make informed decisions and enhance resilience for their communities. Additional Plant Partner benefits include:

  • Official recognition on the FireSmart BC website
  • Promotional support via FireSmart BC social media
  • Access to appearances from Ember for community and store events
  • Input on the future development of the Plant Program across BC

How to Get Involved

Garden Centres & Nurseries — Interested in becoming a Plant Partner? Connect with your local FireSmart Coordinator or contact us directly at plantprogram@firesmartbc.ca

FireSmart Coordinators — If you’re a FireSmart Coordinator and want to sign up a Plant Partner in your area, funding is available through the Community Resiliency Investment (CRI) Program to support new partners with plant tags, signage, and event materials. To get started, fill out the Plant Partner Application Form or email plantprogram@firesmartbc.ca.
