AK asked:


I posted in Botany and was advised given my interest that horticulture would be more suitable for me. Here is some of what I posted:

I’m really starting to love plants and have such a great facination and admiration for them. What interests me is their productive role in our enviroment ( not interested in enviromental issues) such as providing us with food, medicines and their natural healing properties. I have read a little on ethnobotany and find it facinating but don’t wish to specialize in it. Also their uses in the skin care/beauty/aromatherapy industry.

I also would be interested in learning anything about their aesthetic beauty ie why they are different colours, why they produce fragances. Their secret little world like their senstivity to stimuli and of course the usual stuff like breading and gentetics. I have no interest in planting and landscaping.

Would horticulture be better for me? What did you learn about in your course?

Alfred
