what is my gardening zone

To determine your gardening zone, you can use the USDA Plant Hardiness Zone Map. This map categorizes regions into zones from 1 to 13 based on average minimum winter temperatures. To find your zone, you can locate where you live on the map. You can also use online tools such as the US Growing Zone Finder & Plant Hardiness Zone Map provided by Brecks. Understanding your gardening zone is important because it helps you choose plants that are appropriate for your climate and will thrive in your garden.
