Gardening is the practice of growing flowering plants, vegetables, and fruits. Residential gardening most often takes place in or about a residence, in a space referred to as the garden. Although a garden typically is located on the land near a residence, it may also be located in a roof, in an atrium, on a balcony, in a windowbox, or on a patio or vivarium.
Gardening also takes place in non-residential green areas, such as parks, public or semi-public gardens (botanical gardens or zoological gardens), amusement and theme parks, along transportation corridors, and around tourist attractions and hotels. In these situations, a staff of gardeners or groundskeepers maintains the gardens.
Garden design is considered to be an art in most cultures, distinguished from gardening, which generally means garden maintenance. In Japan, Samurai and Zen monks were often required to build decorative gardens or practice related skills like flower arrangement known as ikebana. In 18th century Europe, country estates were refashioned by landscape gardeners into formal gardens or landscaped parklands, such as at Versailles, France or Stowe, England. Today, landscape architects and garden designers continue to produce artistically creative designs for private garden spaces.

Horticultural Science deals with the creation, production, distribution and use of fruit, vegetable, ornamental, greenhouse, turf and specialty crops (plants used for flavoring and medicine). Horticultural Science is probably the most diverse biological science you can study at a university. Not only are the biology and genetics of crop plants interesting, but application of this knowledge is equally important in a myriad of situations. Horticulturists are employed not only in the more typical plant nurseries, greenhouse, public parks, vegetable fields, and golf courses, but also in hospitals (horticultural therapy), aerospace (food and recycling in space labs), and zoos (managing environments for animals and visitors). What they have in common is a strong desire to work intensively with plants to improve our environment and our health.
