Fire Safe Gardening

Fire Safe Gardens: Beauty, Safety, Sustainable, Organic.

Welcome to Fire Safe Garden, I’m Dave Egbert, a skilled plantsman and wildland firefighter.

I strive to help create a balance between beautiful flower filled gardens and fire safety in the wildland/urban interface.  I am a speaker, gardener, wildfire specialist, and designer who wants to work with you, your neighborhood group, garden club, or fire department to encourage fire safe landscapes all over the country.  I focus on sustainable and organic ideas that help make your garden a better, more beautiful outdoor living space.  Explore my blog, then have me come talk to your group or consult on your new landscape design.  

That is what I talk about in each entry. New and time tested ideas for creating a beautiful garden that gives back to you, your family, and the environment while being sustainable, organic and fire safe.  All this CAN come together in an aesthetic landscape, let’s explore how!

I grew up in Salinas, CA and moved to Big Sur about 11 years ago. I work as a volunteer firefighter with Big Sur Volunteer Fire and devote my time to serving the community and learning and living all I can about organics.  

My expereinces as a firefighter and professional nurseryman come together when I create and build sustainable flower filled gardens. I want to pass my experience on to you to help you become a better gardener and enjoy outdoor living more.

My other interests include my Chevy Diesel Silverado truck, atvs, hiking, livestock raising, and hunting.  I own 5 acres in Big Sur where I work to be more self sufficient and use less resources.
