This Trilogy explains “What is Horticulture?”. Volume two of
Horticulture: Plants for People and Places analyses in depth the
scientific, managerial and ecological concepts which underpin
Environmental Horticulture. Chapters describe: Horticulture and the
Environment, Woody Ornamentals, Herbs and Pharmaceuticals, Urban
Greening, Rural Trees, Urban Trees, Turfgrass Science, Interior and
External Landscaping, Biodiversity, Climate Change and Organic
Production. Each is written by leading international experts.
Sustainable use of resources and careful conservation are
critically essential for the continuation of life on this Planet.
Achieving this is where horticulture, natural flora and fauna and
the environment interact in achieving sustainable development.
Horticulture is the fundamental partner of ecological and
environmental science and provides an understanding of eco-system
services. Live plant networks are essential for rural and urban
life. They are integral parts of natural communities, the context
of historic and modern architecture and a means for rejuvenating
cities and uniting communities. Plants provide urban, peri-urban
and rural employment, business and tourism opportunities, leisure,
rest and relaxation. These facets of Environmental Horticulture are
clearly described in this book.
