  1. Horticulture is essentially involves the growing of fruits and vegetables. It is a subsection of agriculture, which feeds and clothes the world. Horticulture supplies an essential part of our diet. Horticulture also adds to the beauty and health of the environment with landscaping with grass lawns and shrubs and trees as well as fruit trees.

    Flora-culture is involved with in the growing of flowers and flowering plants. It is another subsection of agriculture. Flora-culture brings a lot of beauty and joy into our lives. It also supplies a lot of income to the people involved in growing, selling, and distributing the flowers and plants.


  2. Horticulture (pronounced /'hɔ:tɪkʌltʃə/ or US /ˈhɔrtɨkʌltʃɚ/[1]) is the art and science of the cultivation of plants.

    Horticulturists work and conduct research in the fields of plant propagation and cultivation, crop production, plant breeding and genetic engineering, plant biochemistry, and plant physiology. The work particularly involves fruits, berries, nuts, vegetables, flowers, trees, shrubs, and turf. Horticulturalists work to improve crop yield, quality, nutritional value, and resistance to insects, diseases, and environmental stresses.

    Floriculture, or flower farming, is a discipline of horticulture concerned with the cultivation of flowering and ornamental plants for gardens and for floristry, comprising the floral industry. The development plant breeding of new varieties is a major occupation of floriculturists.

    Floriculture crops include bedding plants, flowering plants, foliage plants or houseplants, cut cultivated greens, and cut flowers. As distinguished from nursery crops, floriculture crops are generally herbaceous. Bedding and garden plants consist of young flowering plants (annuals and perennials) and vegetable plants. They are grown in cell packs (in flats or trays), in pots, or in hanging baskets, usually inside a controlled environment, and sold largely for gardens and landscaping. Geraniums, impatiens, and petunias are the best-selling bedding plants. Chrysanthemums are the major perennial garden plant in the United States.

    Flowering plants are largely sold in pots for indoor use. The major flowering plants are poinsettias, orchids, florist chrysanthemums, and finished florist azaleas. Foliage plants are also sold in pots and hanging baskets for indoor and patio use, including larger specimens for office, hotel, and restaurant interiors.

    Cut flowers are usually sold in bunches or as bouquets with cut foliage. The production of cut flowers is specifically known as the cut flower industry. Farming flowers and foliage employs special aspects of floriculture, such as spacing, training and pruning plants for optimal flower harvest; and post-harvest treatment such as chemical treatments, storage, preservation and packaging. In Australia and the United States some species are harvested from the wild for the cut flower market.

    I've included all the information about horticulture and floriculture not just the importance.

    Hope I helped. :)

  3.

Be it under the general heading of agriculture, or a specialized form of it, whether the term is qualified with any form of a description (organic something culture or sustainable something culture) it is the act of growing what we need daily and is second to none in this world for the population it employs.
