I’ve always known that Hardiness Zones and Frost Dates are important to planning your outdoor garden… but plant friend, I’ve never quite understood what they were or why they were so important. I’ve gotten as far as typing my zip code into the hardiness zone website, getting my “number” and then pretty much not doing anything with it. As I look to plan my first grown up garden this summer, I knew I needed help, so I asked Rochelle Greayer, of the renowned garden design website Pith & Vigor, who has years of garden design under her belt to help break all of these important concepts down for us, to better understand our outdoor environments.

If you cant take that read on somebody you really struggle!” [41:00] “There’s something really beautiful about the tangible nature of a newspaper. It pairs really well with gardening. It’s slower and more tactile.” [48:00] –Rochelle Greayer on We Dig Plants
