Wildfires can be dangerous and deadly. While flames can impact your landscape, so too can smoke and ash. This leaves gardeners wondering: How does this impact my yard?
It’s estimated that wildfires destroy, on average, about 3,500 structures each year in the United States, according to the U.S. Forest Service. While that’s the average, the numbers can fluctuate each year depending on the number and severity of these wildfires. For instance, in 2020, more than 13,000 structures were destroyed by wildfires in the Western United States alone.
