We’re in the Zone Guidelines help create successful gardens Coronado’s Southern California coastal climate is the perfect setting for a wide range of plants. USDA Hardiness Zone Finder and Sunset Magazine’s Garden Climate Zones provide helpful guidelines for gardeners. The USDA map is divided into 11 planting zones across the United States that tell you the low temperatures in each zone. Sunset Magazine’s 12 climate zones focus on the western United States. In addition to temperature ranges, Sunset also takes into account latitude, elevation, ocean influence, mountains, hills and valleys, all helpful in choosing the plants that will grow successfully in your garden. Coronado’s zones are 10 (USDA) and 24 (Sunset). Here is what you can find in gardens around town. — Leslie Crawford
