Hi again Stephanie....Here's a link to the hardiness
zones for the Northeast US.....Once you know your
zone then you'll be able to go into a nursery/
greenhouse and look at the tags and see if it is right for your
zone or not....
http://www.thegardenhelper.com/hzm-ne1.html There should be so many
plants that grow in your area.......are you looking for annuals, perennials, or bushes????? You could check around on the gardenhelper
plant listings to see what you like......

flower information at hand.....I have at least 25 gardening books myself.....LOL They really come in handy and are very well read....
