If you enjoy growing flowers, vegetables and trimming trees, etc. in your own garden, do you enjoy GARDENING or HORTICULTURE?
Thank you.

Gardening?

Post by Dodger » Sun Jul 31, 2005 8:00 pm

If you enjoy plants and have a garden then you enjoy gardening. Should you be a student who is studying the propagation of plants and their production then I would use the term horticulture. But what do I know? I started the last sentence with the word "but" and I have a love for gardening.
