Horticulture is the branch of agriculture that deals with the art, science, technology, and business of growing plants.

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.

A flower/floral garden is any garden where flowers are grown and displayed.

Because flowers bloom at varying times of the year, and some plants are annual, dying each winter, the design of flower gardens can take into consideration maintaining a sequence of bloom and even of consistent color combinations, through varying seasons.

Besides organizing the flowers in bedding-out schemes limited to annual and perennial flower beds, careful design also takes the labour time, and the color pattern of the flowers into account.

Gardening is the practice of growing and cultivating plants as part of horticulture.

In gardens, ornamental plants are often grown for their flowers, foliage, or overall appearance; useful plants, such as root vegetables, leaf vegetables, fruits, and herbs, are grown for consumption, for use as dyes, or for medicinal or cosmetic use.

Gardening is considered to be a relaxing activity for many people.

In everyday usage, a vegetable is any part of a plant that is consumed by humans as food as part of a meal.

The term vegetable is somewhat arbitrary, and largely defined through culinary and cultural tradition.

It normally excludes other food derived from plants such as fruits, nuts, and cereal grains, but includes seeds such as pulses.

The original meaning of the word vegetable, still used in biology, was to describe all types of plant, as in the terms "vegetable kingdom" and "vegetable matter".
