USDA zones

**USDA zones**

USDA zones, also known as USDA Plant Hardiness Zones, are geographic areas defined by the United States Department of Agriculture based on the average annual minimum winter temperature. These zones help gardeners, landscapers, and farmers determine which plants are most likely to thrive in their region. By referencing USDA zones, you can select plants that will survive and flourish in your local climate conditions, improving your chances of gardening success.
