What is Horticulture?
The Horticulture industry, or often referred to as the Lifestyle, Ornamental or Amenity Horticulture Industry, is traditionally based around 7 key sectors that have common core horticultural skills and competencies.
The various sectors require specialist skills based upon specific vocational areas. There is a significant impact from climate change that requires us to ensure our practices are environmentally sustainable.
It is recognised that all sectors of horticulture –
‘apply the art and science of the care and maintenance of plants’.
Those who apply these arts and sciences are referred to as ‘horticulturists‘.
Be part of a passionate horticultural community!
We’re all better off together.
AIH represents the interests, and supports professional development, of all horticulturists.
