Lately it has very few participants, but I don't know why. Many from CA area
show up on rec.gardens, a much more active newsgroup. If you give your
growing zone and general location, you will find some respondents from the
Bay Area.
Best source for suitability of plants for a given zone and exposure:  Latest
edition of Sunset's  "Western Garden  Book"
No water restrictions where I live, in San Mateo Co.    Near-normal rainfall
this monsoon.
Re cheap plants, I get and trade some cuttings, slips, and seeds from
neighbors who are also gardeners. Also we tend to do major plant shopping at
Home Depot vs local and expensive nurseries, but we also buy some stuff
locally since we like to get advice with plants, unavailable in Home Depot.
Best of Luck.
