FireSmart Plant Program
What you plant and where you plant matters when it comes to protecting your house from wildfire. And while there are no fire-proof plants, there are FireSmart ones that are less prone to burning than others. But we get it. Most people just want to plant a pretty garden without doing a bunch of scientific research on what plants are safe, so we did all that for you and developed the FireSmart Plant Program with unique FireSmart Plant Tags to help you find safer plants at your local participating garden centre.
Program highlights
Unique plant tags
FireSmart Plant Tags help residents quickly identify fire-resistant plants at their participating garden centres.
Empowering garden centres
Participating garden centres have loved our Plant Program. There are all sorts of benefits for participating garden centres and nurseries such as recognition, access to the FireSmart BC mascot, increased engagement from customers and more.
A foot in the door
FireSmart plants in stores are often an easy, accessible first touch-point for residents on their FireSmart journey. But it also serves as a foot-in-the-door for FireSmart landscaping, and other work they can do around their property to mitigate their wildfire risk.
