How to Add Your Growing Zone and Frost Dates

Our Vegetable Garden Planner contains massive amounts of plant data that will be customized and matched with your unique climate data.

In order to make use of this advanced feature, you’ll need to tell us where you live. From there, we’ll take care of the rest!

To add your location:

Click on the Designer tab or on the Design My Garden Button.

Click on the Star Icon at the top left of the screen and then Climate. 

In the Zone box, select your city. If you don’t see it listed, select the closest city to where you live.  You can also contact us directly to ask us to add your city.

This list is organized by Country > State/Province > City

Once you’ve selected your city, click Apply. 

We have climate data from all over the world. Once you’ve selected your city, we keep track of your growing zone, first frost date and last frost date and all filters and planting schedules are based on this date. We’ll match plant preferences with your unique climate data.

Viewing Your Climate Data:

To see your growing zone or your first and last frost date, click on the Plant List tab or My Plant List button.

Your frost dates and growing zone are displayed at the top of the page.

You can also see your climate data from the Designer if you expand the Filters section when adding plants to your garden design.

Having your climate data displayed while designing your garden will help you pick ideal plants for your garden.
