Disclaimer

Gardening advice on this site is general guidance, not professional advice. Please read this page before acting on anything you find here.

General guidance only

Everything on Garden Grove — planting calendars, houseplant care guides, growing guides and tool results — is general information for home gardeners. It is not professional horticultural, agricultural, veterinary or medical advice, and it does not replace the judgement of a qualified local expert.

Frost dates are averages

Frost dates on this site are USDA zone averages, based on USDA hardiness zone data and NOAA frost records. They are ranges, not exact dates for your garden, your ZIP code or any particular year. A late frost can still damage tender plants after the average last frost date, and an early frost can arrive before the average first frost date. Always check your local cooperative extension service and your local forecast before planting out or protecting plants.

Plants, pets and people

Some plants are toxic to people or pets if eaten, and some treatments (including fertilisers and pest controls) can be harmful if misused. Always read product labels, keep treatments away from children and pets, and check with a veterinarian or doctor if a person or animal has eaten part of a plant.

No guarantees

We do not guarantee that any plant will grow, that any harvest will succeed, or that any calculator result will be exact for your garden. Results depend on soil, weather, water, light and care. We are not liable for plants lost, harvests missed, or any other loss arising from the use of this site.
