Horticulture is the science and art of cultivating plants, including fruits, vegetables, flowers, trees, and ornamental plants. Horticulture encompasses a range of practices that involve growing, harvesting, processing, and marketing plants for various purposes, such as food, medicine, ornamental value, and environmental benefits.
It includes a diverse range of activities, from selecting and breeding plants with desirable traits, to designing and managing gardens and landscapes, to developing new technologies and practices for plant production and protection.
