Plant Hardiness Zone Finder
Developed by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the Plant Hardiness Zone Map is a standardized numeric system that characterizes climate in specific geographic areas. Hardiness zones help indicate what plants to grow and when, so it’s important to know which one you’re in!
Frost Dates
Planting times are often calculated around frost dates to avoid freezing conditions in which plants are killed. To find out projected frost dates for your location, use this tool from Morning Chores.
