Together with Jefferson County Open Space, we have recently created a Low-Flammability Demonstration Garden to demonstrate fire-adapted landscaping within the context of defensible space requirements. This garden showcases a variety of plants that can help mitigate fire risk and bring beauty into your landscapes. Explore our garden (located at Lookout Mountain Nature Center and Preserve) to see real-world examples, and check out our factsheet below to learn more.
You can explore the Low‑Flammability Landscape Plants factsheet from CSU Extension for additional guidance on fire‑resilient plant choices. If you’re interested in deeper horticulture support or hands‑on learning, visit our Master Gardener program page using the button below.
