Horticulture is the science and art of the development, sustainable production, marketing and use of high-value, intensively cultivated food and ornamental plants. Horticulture also contributes to quality of life, and the beauty, sustainability and rehabilitation of our environment and the human condition. Floriculture is an international, multi-billion-dollar industry that includes the production of bedding and garden plants, foliage plants, potted flowering plants, cut flowers, cut cultivated greens, and floriculture materials. Floriculture is largely thought of as a greenhouse industry because flowers and potted plants are largely grown in plant-growing systems in temperate climates, though certain flowers are cultivated outdoors in nurseries or crop fields. Floriculture meaning includes both the cultivation of bedding plants and the production of cuttings for growing in greenhouses or for use as houseplants indoors. Landscaping refers to the planning, laying out and construction of gardens that enhance the appearance and create useable space for outdoor activities around a home. It is a task that combines science and art. Armed with horticultural knowledge, as well as familiarity with the elements and principles of landscape design, a landscape professional can help you transform your property.
