One county, very different gardens
- Lompoc — cool, breezy and often foggy, with mild winters. Coastal natives, flowering perennials and many vegetables do well; heat-lovers sulk.
- Santa Maria and Orcutt — cool and marine-influenced with windy afternoons. Choose wind-tolerant shrubs and grasses.
- Goleta, Santa Barbara and the South Coast — mild year-round with rare frost. Subtropical plants, citrus and avocados thrive.
- The Santa Ynez Valley — hot, dry summers and frosty winters. See our Santa Ynez Valley page.
