Yes, it still matters, unless your garden has some kind of shelter that makes it equivalent or almost equivalent to a greenhouse. You do find plants that are borderline for your zone, are really better suited to a warmer zone, but can do fine in your zone if they are in a sheltered sunny spot such as the south wall of a house, whereas they might not survive 200 feet away on a windy hilltop. If you have a raised bed garden, those do tend to warm up a little sooner in spring than gardens which are not raised.
