In Vermont, different places have different times when plants can grow. Some areas like South Hero and Grand Isle have a long growing time (182 days), while others like Barton and Westmore have much less time (112 days). This affects when people can plant and pick their crops.

Big cities like Burlington and South Burlington get about 177 days to grow plants. Places in the mountains and up north usually have less growing time. Some areas might still get frost in June, and frost can come back as early as September.

This guide shows when frost happens in different Vermont cities and towns, listing the closest weather stations and how far away they are.
