Located
on the Peninsula of San Francisco Bay between the Cites of San
Francisco and San Jose |
| |
the
Los Altos area has a Mediterrean type climate with wet winters
and dry summers. |
| |
The
weather is modified by the Pacific Ocean on the west and the
Bay on the east. |
| |
The
soil varies from porous sandy greenstone to the rich but difficult
adobe clay. |
| |
A wide
range of plants grow here from Redwoods to California Live Oak
trees |

|
The seasons provide year round gardening interest |
