    Botanists
    Plants and soil are in the realm of botanists. Often focusing on one type of plant, whether algae growing in water or evergreen trees in forests, botanists discover and inventory flora. This requires working in the field, but they also conduct studies in laboratories. Often working for government agencies, they strive to ensure the National Environment Policy Act is closely followed.

    Job responsibilities of a botanist include:

    Track and locate endangered or new species of plants
    Work towards restoring and conserving botanical habitats, such as rainforests
    Follow and document agricultural crop productivity
    Review essays and other documents for information about the ways rainfall and soil affect plants
    Horticulturists
    Working in landscaping or nurseries, horticulturists are responsible for growing and monitoring plants. They work either outside or in greenhouses, carefully identifying and caring for a variety of plants and flowers. When landscaping, they may have to work with chemicals and large lawn care equipment. They also use chemicals and fertilizers to help plants and grasses flourish. Many are trained on the job, as being hands-on is necessary in this field.

    Job responsibilities of a horticulturist include:

    Create flower arrangements or build large, outdoor arrangements of shrubs and bushes
    Mow and water lawns for various business and residential clients
    Plant trees and lay grass seed
    Weed and trim flowers, shrubs, and lawns

    Botany, also called plant science(s), plant biology or phytology, is the science of plant life and a branch of biology. A botanist, plant scientist or phycologist is a scientist who specializes in this field. The term “botany” comes from the Ancient Greek word βοτάνη (botana) meaning “pasture”, “grass”, or “fodder”; βοτάνη is in turn derived from βόσκειν (buskin), “to feed” or “to graze”. Traditionally, botany has also included the study of fungi and algae by mycologists and phycologists respectively, with the study of these three groups of organisms remaining within the sphere of interest of the International Botanical Congress. Nowadays, botanists (in the strict sense) study approximately 410,000 species of land plants of which some 391,000 species are vascular plants (including ca 369,000 species of flowering plants), and ca 20,000 are bryophytes.

    Horticulture is the science and art of growing plants (fruits, vegetables, flowers, and any other cultivar). It also includes plant conservation, landscape restoration, soil management, landscape and garden design, construction, and maintenance, and arboriculture. In contrast to agriculture, horticulture does not include large-scale crop production or animal husbandry.

    Horticulturists apply their knowledge, skills, and technologies used to grow intensively produced plants for human food and non-food uses and for personal or social needs. Their work involves plant propagation and cultivation with the aim of improving plant growth, yields, quality, nutritional value, and resistance to insects, diseases, and environmental stresses. They work as gardeners, growers, therapists, designers, and technical advisors in the food and non-food sectors of horticulture. Horticulture even refers to the growing of plants in a field or garden.

    Horticulture is a Latin word meaning garden’s cultivation and which features three main plant growing activities.

    Growing plants for food.
    Growing plants for aesthetic purposes for example; floriculture and flower cultivation.
    Maintenance and landscaping of fields and gardens for example; playing fields and golf courses.

    Botany is the study of plants including genetics, structure, physiology, classification, ecology, and distribution.
    It is a broad scientific field, and the plants that are mostly studied include fungi, algae, lichens, mosses, conifers, ferns, and flowering plants.

    It not only deals with the study of plants but also their groupings, heredities, supply, environmental science and their composition.

    Botany is regarded as a broader, pure science in regards to living plant organisms, from the smallest bacteria to the largest trees. Horticulture, on the other hand, is an applied science under that umbrella and focuses solely on edible and ornamental plant life.
