🌱 Growing Zones 101 | How to Know What to Plant & When

Growing Zones 101 is a beginner gardening class that explains how planting zones work, how to find your growing zone, and how to use zone information to decide what to plant and when to plant it. This lesson covers the USDA Plant Hardiness Zone Map, common gardening mistakes related to zones, and why gardeners in the same zone can have very different results. If you’re new to gardening, container gardening, or urban gardening, understanding your growing zone is one of the most important first steps to growing healthy food successfully. This class is especially helpful for gardeners in warm climates like Zone 9B and the Southern United States, but the concepts apply to all growing zones.
