Overview
The horticulture industry encompasses the cultivation and management of plants for ornamental, recreational, and commercial purposes. It includes activities such as gardening, landscaping, and nursery management. Horticulture plays a vital role in enhancing urban environments, providing fresh produce, and contributing to the aesthetic appeal of public spaces. It involves the propagation, cultivation, and maintenance of a wide variety of plants, including flowers, fruits, vegetables, and ornamental trees. Horticultural practices aim to optimize plant growth, health, and productivity through careful attention to soil, water, light, and nutrient requirements.Â
