Terms of Use

Last updated August 1, 2026

By using Growing Home Greens, you agree to what's below. It's short, and we've kept it plain.

Gardening guidance is a starting point, not a guarantee

This is the part that matters. The planting dates, frost dates, hardiness zones, and companion-planting suggestions on this site are general guidance built from regional averages and published sources. They are not a promise about your garden.

Two specific limits worth stating plainly. Our hardiness zones come from 2023 PRISM Climate Group data aggregated by ZIP prefix. This is not the official USDA Plant Hardiness Zone Map, and you should check planthardiness.ars.usda.gov for that. And our frost dates are one representative pair per zone; your own yard will differ, sometimes by weeks, depending on elevation, slope, shelter, and how the weather behaves in a given year.

Weather varies, microclimates are real, and a planting date that works for one gardener can lose another a season. Treat this site as a planning aid, check it against your local extension service, and use your own judgement. We are not liable for lost crops, wasted seed, or a season that didn't go to plan.

Nothing here is professional horticultural, agricultural, nutritional, or safety advice. Some plants are toxic to people or pets, and some are invasive in some regions, so confirm before you plant or eat anything.

Using the site

You're welcome to use Growing Home Greens for personal, non-commercial gardening. Don't scrape it wholesale, republish our content as your own, or hammer it with automated traffic. The site's content, layout, and data compilations belong to us or our sources; the underlying factual information (planting dates, plant characteristics) is of course free for anyone to use.

Gardens you build in the Garden Designer are yours. They're stored in your browser, not on our servers, and we make no claim to them.

Affiliate links

Some product links earn us a commission, including as an Amazon Associate, at no extra cost to you. We recommend products based on a genuine consensus of positive independent reviews, and we cite sources on the gear we write up. We don't sell placements, and we don't manufacture, stock, or warrant anything we link to. Your purchase is with the retailer, on their terms.

Availability

The site is provided as-is, with no guarantee that it will be available, uninterrupted, or error-free. We may change or remove features at any time. To the fullest extent the law allows, our liability for any use of this site is limited.

External links

We link to extension services, seed suppliers, and retailers we find useful. We don't control those sites and aren't responsible for their content or practices.

Changes

These terms may change. The date at the top will tell you when they last did. Continuing to use the site after a change means you accept it.
