Gardening is the practice of growing and cultivating plants as part of
horticulture. In gardens, ornamental plants are often grown for their
flowers, foliage, or overall appearance; useful plants, such as root
vegetables, leaf vegetables, fruits, and herbs, are grown for
consumption, for use as dyes, or for medicinal or cosmetic use.
Gardening ranges in scale from fruit orchards to long boulevard
plantings with one or more different types of shrubs, trees, and
herbaceous plants, to residential back gardens including lawns and
foundation plantings, all the way to container gardens grown inside or
outside. Gardening may be very specialized, with only one type of plant
grown, or involve a variety of plants in mixed plantings. It involves
active participation in the growing of plants and tends to be
labor-intensive, which differentiates it from farming or forestry.
