Horticulture is the science, art, and practice of cultivating plants for human use and enjoyment. It encompasses the cultivation, propagation, breeding, and management of plants for purposes such as food production, ornamental display, landscaping, medicinal applications, and environmental conservation. Horticulture includes a wide range of disciplines, including plant biology, genetics, soil science, pest management, irrigation, and post-harvest handling. It involves both outdoor and indoor gardening practices, and it plays a vital role in agriculture, horticultural therapy, urban greening, and biodiversity conservation. Horticulture contributes to food security, environmental sustainability, and human well-being by providing nutritious food, enhancing landscapes, improving air quality, and promoting cultural and recreational activities.
