NEW USDA PLANT HARDINESS ZONE MAP
The USDA has released a new plant hardiness zone map for 2012. Zones have changed somewhat to take into account the warmer winters being experienced in the US. For the first time, the map is available as an interactive GIS-based map. Users may also simply type in a ZIP Code and find the hardiness zone for that area. State, regional, and national images of the map can be downloaded and printed in a variety of sizes and resolutions.
