Benefits of Horticulture

From symmetry to fragrance, to open spaces, ecological function and impermanence, there are multiple layers to that which humans find pleasing in gardens. This attractiveness, illustrated by the close links with cultural identity and arguably founded in evolutionary periods, forms a strong basis for the future of horticulture. The co-evolution of plants and humans have resulted in a close need or affiliation, that humans have, to experience nature, in order to fulfil the potential of their health and well-being. The decrease in stress levels and reduced risks of disease associated with time in green spaces are complemented by the nutritional and medicinal benefits that production horticulture can offer. As a juxtaposition, horticulture also benefits the urban environment by mitigating urban temperatures, attenuating flood waters and associated pollution, and the wider environment through carbon sequestration, nutrient cycling, supporting wildlife, biodiversity preservation and enabling habitat restoration. Finally, and importantly, green spaces and horticulture can enable better child learning and development.
