Gardening , is the laying out and care of a plot of ground devoted
partially or wholly to the growing of plants such as flowers, herbs,
or vegetables. Gardening can be considered both as an art, concerned
with arranging plants harmoniously in their surroundings, and as a
science, encompassing the principles and techniques of plant
cultivation. Because plants are often grown in conditions markedly
different from those of their natural environment, it is necessary to
apply to their cultivation techniques derived from plant physiology,
chemistry, and botany, modified by the experience of the planter. The
basic principles involved in growing plants are the same in all parts
of the world, but the practice naturally needs much adaptation to
local conditions.
