Across Western Australia, gardeners and landscapers are discovering how smart design choices can create outdoor spaces that are not only beautiful — but safer and more resilient to fire.
At the Royal Show, The Forever Project, in partnership with the Department of Fire and Emergency Services (DFES), unveiled the inspiring Firewise Garden — a living example of how thoughtful landscaping and material selection can protect homes and communities.
Formline® is proud to play a part in supporting this important movement through our collaboration with StrataGreen, an official Formline stockist and long-time supporter of The Forever Project.
What Is Firewise Gardening?
Firewise gardening is all about reducing the risk of fire damage while maintaining the natural beauty and biodiversity of Western Australian landscapes.
By combining clever design with the right materials, homeowners and landscapers can create gardens that:
- Use low-flammability plants suited to local conditions
- Include non-combustible and fire-resistant materials
- Feature defined garden zones that help slow the spread of fire
- Remain beautiful and sustainable year-round
