What grows well around James Weldon Johnson Houses
The Northeast climate here has four clear seasons (broadly USDA zones 5 to 7) with warm summers and cold winters, giving a defined spring planting season and vivid autumn. That makes a nearby store genuinely useful, because its stock leans toward hardy perennials, spring bulbs, cool-season vegetables, and trees and shrubs bred for cold winters that actually do well here. It is worth asking staff about right-plant, right-place choices for your specific spot, soil and sun.
