    Determine your Growing Zone

There is nothing worse than finding that perfect plant for the garden, then having it expire during the first hot spell or cold snap. All geographic areas of the planet have a climatic signature, the highs and lows of both temperature and humidity. Each plant has specific (some more than others) environmental requirements, and the two have to coincide in order for the plant to thrive. Many of the Biblical plants will need winter protection in climates in zones 1-7.

We are presently adding zone information to our database for the Biblical Plants and our Seed List. This will be added to our site as soon as it is completed.

Please refer to this U. S. Department of Agriculture Hardiness Zone Map. Find your location and use the color coded legend to determine your Growing Zone.
