Definition
Relating to the science and art of growing fruits, vegetables, flowers, and ornamental plants.
Etymology
From Latin 'hortus' meaning 'garden' + 'cultura' meaning 'cultivation'. The term emerged in the 17th century as gardening evolved from mere subsistence to an art and science combining aesthetic and practical considerations.
Kelly Says
Horticulture differs from agriculture in its focus on smaller-scale, often more intensive cultivation of high-value crops. The word captures humanity's transition from hunter-gatherers to people who could create beauty and sustenance in designed spaces—essentially, our first form of environmental engineering.
