Horticulture is the art, science, technology and business of intensive plant cultivation for human
use. It is practiced from the individual level in a garden up to the
activities of a multinational corporation. It is very diverse in its
activities, incorporating plants for food (fruits, vegetables, mushrooms, culinary herbs) and non-food crops (flowers, trees and shrubs, turf-grass, hops, grapes,
medicinal herbs). It also includes related services in plant
conservation, landscape restoration, landscape and garden
design/construction/maintenance, horticultural therapy, and much more.
This wide range of food, medicinal, environmental, and social products
and services are all fundamental to developing and maintaining human
health and well-being. [1]
