All things green, outdoors, and nature-y. Whether it's animals in their natural habitat, hiking trails and mountains, or planting a little garden for yourself (and everything in between), you can talk about it here.

While (imo) long overdue, the updated USDA Hardiness Zone map is just average lowest temperature. It's good to have that as a data point, but I think it's better utilized when cross referenced with something like the Köppen classification system - my preferred version of this is the Trewartha classification system.
Thank you! I've advocated the koppen climate classifications for years into a void, but I'd never heard of trewartha!
