SHIRE of Mundaring invites residents to attend a free talk by local landscape architect and garden guru Sue McDougall. Sue will be joined by local author Lesley Corbett, who will be talking about her new book "Safer Gardens: Plant Flammability & Planning for Fire." This is a hands on workshop where you can take home an action plan for your own garden.

In this workshop you will find out how easy it can be to retrofit a garden for fire safety. A treeless landscape is not a fire wise landscape - Sue will take you through the steps to make your property safer this summer. You will learn how you can balance fire safety and the natural environment and decide what stays and what goes.

Bring a map of your property and work through (step by step) the design solutions that will increase fire safety on your property.

Please arrive at 12.45pm for a 1pm start. Afternoon tea is provided.
