horticulture
Horticulture is the branch of agriculture that deals with the art, science, technology, and business of vegetable garden plant growing. It includes the cultivation of medicinal plants, fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, herbs, sprouts, mushrooms, algae, flowers, seaweeds and non-food crops such as grass and ornamental trees and plants. It also includes plant conservation, landscape restoration, landscape and garden design, construction, and maintenance, and arboriculture. Inside agriculture, horticulture contrasts with extensive field farming as well as animal husbandry.
Horticulturists apply their knowledge, skills, and technologies used to grow intensively produced plants for human food and non-food uses and for personal or social needs. Their work involves plant propagation and cultivation with the aim of improving plant growth, yields, quality, nutritional value, and resistance to insects, diseases, and environmental stresses. They work as gardeners, growers, therapists, designers, and technical advisors in the food and non-food sectors of horticulture.
==Etymology==
The word ''horticulture'' is modeled after ''agriculture'', and comes from the Latin ''hortus'' "garden" and ''cultūra'' "cultivation", from ''cultus'', the perfect passive participle of the verb ''colō'' "I cultivate". ''Hortus'' is cognate with the native English word ''yard'' (in the meaning of land associated with a building) and also the borrowed word ''garden''.〔(Entry for ''yard'' ) Dictionary.com (presenting information supposedly from Random House Dictionary)〕
