Lush Desert
The San Gabriel Valley, where we are, is one of many distinct microclimates found throughout Los Angeles County. Almost all of the rain falls in Winter over a period of 2-3 months, Spring and Fall are moderately warm and fairly dry, and Summers are very hot for about 3 months. The air can be very dry, especially when offshore winds (like the Santa Ana winds) dominate. For this reason, desert plants thrive here.
Spring is coming
