Gardening

Vegetable gardening is a lot like agriculture, but on a smaller scale. However, landscaping is also a form of gardening. How do landscapers know which plants will thrive in a given environment? How do they know which ones will complement each other? Just as in agriculture, people need to know their particular plants’ needs. They also need to know how to approach pest control and methods to improve the quality of the vegetables or flowers. All of these things involve some knowledge of botany. Teaching young people about gardening prepares them to successfully grow their own food and also create beauty. In recent years, growing your own food has become more and more important as challenges arise with transporting food worldwide. Growing your own food also provides the benefits of eating seasonally.
