May 2022 Firesmart Tips from UC Marin Master GardenersMAY: Maintain plants along exit routes from your home - Identify the best escape routes to get to your vehicle and then for your vehicle to leave your property. Routes with less vegetation are safer.
- Assess the health and condition of the plants along each route. Keep vegetation maintained – pruned and hydrated.
- Remove or move combustible materials from your exits e.g., jute doormats, wood planters, furniture etc.
- Remove dead plant material and debris.
- Remove vines near doors or windows.
- Replace wood gates, arbors, or trellises near exit routes with metal.
- Have evacuation signs ready to post at home exits in the event you must evacuate. This alerts fire personnel that you have left the property. (Check with your local fire department for signs.)

TOWN BOOKS ARTIST SERIES We are honored to host an exhibit by local painter, ANANDI MATTESON. Her artwork will be on display through May and June.
As an artist, Anandi responds to the beauty of nature, mainly flowers in all shapes and colors. The delicacy and openness of a flower in full bloom keeps inviting her in again and again. Anandi’s creative process often starts with walking in nature, camera in hand. She shoots away at what attracts her, then recreates the beauty with acrylics on wood or canvas.
Please join us for an ARTIST RECEPTION Friday, May 6, from 5-7 pm. Light refreshments will be served.
TOWN BOOKS 411 San Anselmo Avenue, San Anselmo HOURS: Wednesday – Saturday, 10:00 to 4:00 INFO: 415.526.3791 or townbooks.org
