Gardening in the Santa Ynez Valley
Move east from Buellton and the valley gets hotter and drier. Summer afternoons in Santa Ynez and Los Olivos often reach the 90s, while clear winter nights bring hard frost. Most rain falls between November and March.
Plants that thrive here are the ones that take heat, drought and cold: California natives such as manzanita, ceanothus and sages, olives, lavender, rosemary, ornamental grasses, and fruit trees that need winter chill.
Living with deer, gophers and fire
- Deer browse many rural gardens. Aromatic plants such as sages, lavender and rosemary are rarely eaten. See our deer-resistant plant guide.
- Gophers are common: use wire baskets for new plants.
- Wildfire: keep the area next to the house lean, green and well spaced. See fire-wise planting.
