Browse Growing Guides by State
Each state guide covers USDA hardiness zones, frost dates, soil patterns, and the plants that thrive — anchored on USDA, NOAA, and NRCS federal data.
Sourced, not invented.
This library is compiled from FAO ECOCROP, the USDA PLANTS Database, and peer-reviewed cultivation data from 51 Cooperative Extension partners across all 50 states + DC — including Penn State, Cornell, OSU PNW, UMass, NCSU, WSU, USDA NRCS Plant Guides, and Prairie Moon Nursery. Which source supplied which value is published per field with the dataset, and where a value is our own compilation rather than a sourced figure, it says so.
