Are you looking to restore a slope or simply make your garden (and LA) more resilient? If so, this might be the opportunity for you to learn about fire resilient and California native plants.
Learn from FormLA Landscaping president Cassy Aoyagi about the impact of landscapes on LA’s overall resilience at the Rosemont Preserve.
Post-fire and heavy rain, it is more critical than ever that we take great care with what we introduce to our gardens and wildspaces. Authentic foothill-native plants protect wildspaces and homes. They stay lush and leafy in both drought and deluge and, therefore, do a better job of resisting fire, whereas many plants promoted as drought-tolerant are highly flammable. Their roots of natives also help protect slopes from mudslide.
In 2017, Rosemont Preserve restored and rewilded slopes that were close to homes. Volunteers removed invasive plants and replaced them with native plants native to the LA foothills. Currently, the preserve serves as a great model for landscaping at the urban-wildspace interface.
