Horticulture
Horticulture is concerned both with our dietary and our environmental needs. The horticulture industry consists of on the one hand the commercial production of vegetables, fruit, flowers and ornamental plants, and on the other hand deals with the establishment and maintenance of parks, sport grounds, open spaces and ornamental plantings. It also supports and services one of the main leisure pursuits in the United Kingdom- gardening!
Horticultural industry is wide ranging, covering many crop types and production systems. A wide range of edible horticultural crops are grown in Britain. Crops can be grown outside in a field or ‘inside’, protected under structures such as glasshouses and polytunnels. The main type of edible production are field vegetables (Onions, Tomatoes, Carrots, Cucumbers), fruit, protected crops and potatoes.
British growers have helped create the British landscape. The countryside and its main features are there because the land has been worked and cared for by generations of farmers and growers over many centuries.
Closely associated with the art of gardening, landscape horticulture also involves the science of plants and the business associated with producing and using these plants. Landscape horticulturalists must know many different kinds of plants and their basic characteristics; how they grow, develop, reproduce, and adapt to different environments as well as the optimal growing conditions for specific plants. Landscape horticulturalists must also know how to manage employees and to deal with customers.
Nowadays, many people tend to landscape and adorn their gardens with artificial features as well, such as water fountains, small ponds, paved alleys, sculptures, wooden arches and whatever their imagination can produce. Garden art and garden furniture are very popular at the moment, with the market on a constant rise. Wind sculptures, which are moved by the air flow, are particularly sought after, as well as traditional stone features. Stone water fountains, although associated with past times, are still loved and in demand today.
