Horticulture is the science, technology, art and business of cultivating and using plants to improve human life. Horticulturists and Horticultural Scientists create global solutions for sustainable nutritious food and healthy/restorative and beautiful environments.

Within the UK the Horticulture industry is valued at £10bn and employs over a third of a million people, while the Northern Ireland industry is worth approximately £170m and employs about 8,000 people.
