Growing Plants in California

Posted by admin on August 8, 2011

There are many thousands of varieties of plants to choose from to grow in California. Because there are so many climates in California, not all plants grow in each location. For example, microclimates in San Francisco may be cool or foggy while areas in Central California may be sunny and warm. Here are the best ways to choose plants to grow in California:

1. Drive around and see what people in your neighborhood are growing. Do the plants look healthy? Choose plants that grow well.

2. Go to local garden centers. Most plants they sell should be those that will grow nearby. Garden center staff may reveal plants that will grow well.

3. Read this and other Websites for ideas.
