Horticulture involves five areas of study. These areas are Floriculture (includes production and marketing of floral crops), ''' Landscape Horticulture ''' (includes production, marketing and maintenance of landscape plants), ''' Olericulture ''' (includes production and marketing of vegetables), ''' Pomology ''' (includes production and marketing of fruits), and ''' Postharvest Physiology ''' (involves maintaining quality and preventing spoilage of horticultural crops). Horticulturists can work in industry, government, or educational institutions.
