Zones - What are they?


The United States is divided into eleven hardiness zones that are based on average winter temperatures.  Each zone represents a ten degree range.  These zones are important for planting; each plant has a hardiness rating which tells you what kind of climate/temperature the plant prefers and temperature in which it will survive.  For more information, visit the National Gardening Association's page for the USDA Hardiness Zone Finder.
