About Horticulture
The Encarta English dictionary defines horticulture as"the cultivation of gardens." It involves "the science, skill, or occupation of cultivating plants, especially flowers, fruit, and vegetables, in gardens or greenhouses." It suggests it is "a simple form of agriculture based on working small plots of land without using draft animals, plows, or irrigation." Given modern horticultural methods, the word simple may no longer apply. Here's to the beauty and utility of our gardens!
