Environmental Horticulture

Environmental horticulture (EH) is the branch of horticulture that deals with the production and management of plants for ornamental and environmental use. It is usually broken down into more specific areas, such as landscape horticulture, arboriculture, turf management, and restoration for environmental enhancement, and includes commercial (including floriculture and nursery production) and residential (i.e., urban horticulture, home gardening) applications.
