Plants for ornament (floriculture and landscape horticulture). • Floriculture deals with the production of flowers and ornamental plants; generally, cut flowers, pot plants, and greenery. (included in photography classes) • Landscape horticulture is a broad category that includes plants for the landscape, including lawn turf, but particularly nursery crops such as shrubs, trees, and climbers.
