Plant sales like this one at the Moraga Gardens Farm last weekend have been popping up throughout Lamorinda as residents prep gardens and yards for spring planting. While understanding how plants and trees grow in different light and various temperatures is one of the keys to a successful garden, understanding microclimates within the three Lamorinda communities - and even within each individual plot of land - can be the difference between lush and lackluster. To learn more about our communities' microclimates and to get other planting tips, read "How to Plant in Lamorinda's Microclimates" in the Our Homes section on page C1.
