New USDA Plant Hardiness Zone Map/Climate Change

For the first time in 20 years, The USDA is updating the Plant Hardiness Zone Map in response to climate change. The map shows where various types of plant species can thrive, and as warmer annual temperatures move northward, the more than 80 million U.S. gardeners and farmers will be looking to the map to see what new plants may be able to grow in their area.
