Its actually Salt Spring Island in BC Canada. A lot of places on the inside part of Vancouver Island get very warm water though. I have a friend that lives in Nanaimo, and I didn't believe them when they said that the water temperature got into the 70's (Surface temp) and even 80's, but I went there last April or may and people were swimming in the ocean already.
The trees are mainly hardy forms of their family or genus. (i.e. Cordyline australis, Musa basjoo, trachycarpus fortunei) But Gosh! If in Southern California you could make that yard look like the arctic!
