Where do you live?

Okay, I have been asked enough times.
Where is this garden? Where do you live?

I am ready to spill the beans............

El Sobrante is located in Contra Costa County between Richmond and Pinole. Since the 1970s, the semirural nature of El Sobrante has become increasingly urbanized by developers who are building housing projects on the remaining ranches and farms. During this time houses were increasingly being built on small city-sized lots. Fortunately, the community has fought back against this unchecked urbanization by organizing spunky grassroots groups, earning El Sobrante the reputation of being a difficult place for large developers to get their subdivisions approved. The home prices are much more affordable for most people than Berkeley or Oakland.
