Temperate Horticulture

Temperate horticulture is the study and practice of growing plants, such as fruits, vegetables, flowers, and shrubs, in regions with moderate climates that have distinct seasonal changes—including warm summers and cold winters. It involves understanding how plants adapt to these conditions and managing soil, water, and pests to ensure healthy growth. This branch of horticulture focuses on optimizing cultivation techniques for temperate zones, aiming for sustainable production, conservation of plant varieties, and effective landscape design suitable for seasonal fluctuations.
