Lovely garden. I have visited SF, Walnut Creek, Oakland, Corte Madera, and, um one other that has a college. It is so hot though after 60 years in Alaska that I could never live there. Was born in Oakland. But you have managed to have a wonderful varied garden despite the heat. My mother lived in the places mentioned (GG grandmother, G grandmother, grandmother, and mom and I all were born or lived in Oakland) and loved roses. She lived in Modesto for a while up in the hills and had great gardens there also. Makes what I can grow here look pretty paltry.
