YOUR LOCAL STARTING POINT

Start with the place you garden.

Enter your ZIP to begin a plan around your area. Hardiness zones help describe winter cold; local frost dates help estimate planting time. They answer different questions.

One ZIP gives you a verified 2023 hardiness zone and, when a nearby NOAA record is available, historical frost markers to help plan your season.

A useful distinction

A hardiness zone describes average annual extreme-minimum winter temperature; it is not an exact planting date. Frost dates are historical 50% estimates and can shift year to year. Microclimate, elevation, and soil can differ from the matched location. Neither estimate guarantees plant survival or exact timing.
