Teton Village, Wyoming, sits in USDA hardiness zone 5b — a zone band wide enough that plant choice, not possibility, is the interesting question.
Well-matched crops include okra, blackberry, lavender, and pumpkin, and the gap between "grows in the area" and "grows in your yard" is closed by soil, sun, and drainage.
Even in Teton Village, no two yards are alike.
A low spot, a south-facing slope, or a stand of trees moves the frost date and sun across a single Teton Village lot. Enter your address and we'll score 1,086 plants against your land's actual soil, sun, and frost.

What this means for growing in Teton Village
Each reading below is measured for Teton Village itself — here is what it means for a garden here, and the move an experienced grower makes about it.
Season length
MeasuredTeton Village runs about 112 days between hard freezes — a short growing season.
Long-maturing crops like melons, sweet potatoes, and winter squash can run out of runway before the first hard freeze, ripening late or not at all.
Lead with fast-maturing varieties, and stretch the season on both ends with cold frames, low tunnels, or a greenhouse.

Winter hardiness
MeasuredTeton Village sits in USDA hardiness zone 5b.
The zone sets which perennials, shrubs, and fruit trees live through an average winter here — a plant rated for a colder zone is a safe bet, one rated warmer needs winter protection or gets treated as an annual.
Match perennials and fruit to the zone before you buy, so nothing you plant is a gamble against the cold.

The kind of country Teton Village is in

Is it too late to plant in Teton Village?
Too late for some crops, right on time for others — a growing season is a sequence, not a deadline. Cool-season crops can go in from around May 1; tender transplants wait until two to three weeks after the last 28°F hard freeze, which lands near May 29 (NOAA 1991–2020 climate normals); and from midsummer, planting counts back from the first fall freeze around Sep 18 — long-season crops need about 90 days of runway, quick greens only 30. Even here the calendar’s edges hold value: thirty-day greens late in the window, then garlic and a rested bed for spring.

What an experienced grower watches for around here
In and around Teton Village, Nitrate runs higher than the national average — 134 sites within ~10 miles of Teton Village. That's not a problem with your land — it's information about it.
Nitrate: Nitrate contamination primarily comes from agricultural fertilizer runoff and failing septic systems.
Test well water for nitrate if you rely on a private well for irrigation (EPA standard: 10 mg/L).

Your land is one point inside Teton Village
Everything above resolves to Teton Village as a whole — one PHZM band and one 28°F frost record, read across 4K acres. Your parcel is one point inside that footprint. Slope, tree cover, a low spot that pools cold air, and what is in the soil are all resolved at the address, and none of them are visible at town scale. That is the honest boundary of this page, and the reason the next step is a reading of your own ground rather than a better local average.

How we know this about Teton Village
The datasets: hardiness from the USDA ARS Plant Hardiness Zone Map 2023, read at this town’s own centroid; hard-freeze dates from NOAA 1991–2020 28°F normals at Teton Village’s own record; boundaries and acreage from US Census TIGER/Line 2025; the contamination records from the federal sources named in their beats above. Soil is not read at town grain anywhere on this page — there is no town-resolution survey in our data, which is why you will find no soil grid here rather than a statewide one wearing a local label.

Common questions about Teton Village
When does frost risk typically end in Teton Village?
The last hard freeze (28°F) in Teton Village typically lands around May 29, per NOAA 1991–2020 climate normals — earlier than the light-frost dates most charts quote. That marks the hard freeze, not the last light frost — lighter frosts keep biting past it, which is why tender transplants here wait until about Jun 19.
When is the first frost in Teton Village?
The first hard freeze (28°F) in Teton Village typically arrives around Sep 18, per NOAA 1991–2020 climate normals — the point tender summer crops finish. Lighter frosts run ahead of it, near Sep 4, so the watching starts about Aug 19 — about 112 days after the spring freeze cleared.
How long is the growing season in Teton Village?
Measured between 28°F hard freezes, Teton Village sees about 112 frost-free days — roughly May 29 through Sep 18, per NOAA 1991–2020 climate normals. Tender crops work a shorter one: nearer Jun 19 to Sep 4, about 77 days.
Is the soil safe to grow vegetables in Teton Village?
The federal record around Teton Village is a meaningful one — 269 documented sites, mostly Nitrate entries (134), the nearest Underground Storage Tanks record about 0.7 miles out — so a soil test before new food beds is a sensible precaution here, not a reason to hold back from growing. Remember that proximity to a documented site is information, not a diagnosis of any one yard; the contamination map shows exactly what sits where.
How do gardeners stretch the season in Teton Village?
With about 112 frost-free days between hard freezes, Teton Village rewards the classic extension moves: floating row cover buys roughly two to four extra weeks at each shoulder — on this season that is a working window nearer 140 to 168 days — and cold frames or low tunnels buy more. Starting transplants indoors ahead of the May 29 hard-freeze normal stretches the season without touching the calendar.
Everything above is measured at Teton Village's scale — its 5b band and its 112-day season. Your yard writes its own version of Teton Village's numbers: we read soil, sun, drainage and frost at your exact address. Try it for 14 days — no card required.
