Horticulture is the science and art of growing fruits, vegetables, flowers, and ornamental plants. It involves various practices such as planting, breeding, and cultivating plants to improve their quality and yield. Horticulturists study plant biology and environmental conditions to create optimal growing conditions, ensuring healthy and productive crops. This field is essential for food production and landscape design, contributing to both agriculture and environmental sustainability. Horticulture encompasses several sub-disciplines, including floriculture (the cultivation of flowers), pomology (the study of fruit), and landscape horticulture (designing and maintaining gardens and parks).
