Horticulture is the science and or art of cultivating fruits, vegetables, flowers or plants of an ornamental nature. The word is derived from Latin and can be broken down into two parts, as such: “Hortus” means garden and “cultus” means tilling.

Botany is the science and study of plants and similar organisms. There are many branches of botany. Those are, but are not limited to: Paleobotany, study of plant fossils, Physiology, study of plant cells and tissues, Pteridology, the study of ferns, and the study of diseases found in plants, called Plant Pathology.

Botany is a very old subject of study. In fact, it is one of the oldest studies within the realm of biology. It is also one of the most fascinating.

Botany and horticulture often go hand in hand. Those interested in one field of study is most often intrigued by the other as well.
