Horticulture

The main branch of agriculture known as horticulture deals with the maintenance of nurseries, gardens, orchards, and plantations as well as the production of flowers, greens, vegetables, plant life, herbs, and ornamental trees. It is a very diverse field with virtually endless employment opportunities in a range of job environments. The strongest evidence that gardening improves our health and fitness comes from the fact that time spent in a park, garden, or other green space significantly decreases stress and eases both physical and mental tension. Horticulturists are experts in the production of food and crops, and they are involved in a wide range of crops, including plants, spices, vegetables, and finished goods. This knowledge can enable horticulturists to provide expert advice on crop maximisation and harvesting techniques.
