ZIP 05654 in Graniteville, Vermont (VT) is zone 5a with lows of -20 to -15 F. Tropicals like palms or citrus can't survive there.

ZIP 54838 in Gordon, Wisconsin (WI) is zone 4a with lows of -30 to -25 F. Fruit and citrus are off the table. For your cart, that means you can grow cold-hardy figs and even some apples, while Gordon buyers must stick with extremely hardy natives.

ZIP 83118 in Etna, Wyoming (WY) is zone 5b with lows of -15 to -10 F. Flowering ornamentals there are limited to very winter-hardy kinds like crabapples.
