How can studying horticulture relate to geology?
I have a job opening that involves a lot of work related to horticulture. I want to be a planetary geologist. Will this look good on my resume or will schools and jobs just think of it as gardening and totally unrelated?

Question answered by Punk Rock and Minerals
Not much
Horticulture does involve soils and soil development, you might have to deal with how plants grow on rocks (deals with mechanical weathering or in the case of lichens both mechanical and chemical weathering)
But that's about it
I do not garden and I know nothing about plants yet I want to major in horticulture. Is this a wise idea?
I have really never had a garden or planted anything and I don't know much about plants/soil/gardening/horticulture besides what I've researched. I have been accepted into the horticulture program at University of Cincinnati but I'm not sure if I should do it because of my lack of experience. I just think it sounds really interesting and I am willing to learn. What should I do?

Why did you apply? How do you know you will like it? What do you expect to get out of it.
It is never too late to start but you will have to work extra hard in order to keep up with people who have gardened since whenever. It will be a little easier on them. The main concern however is since you have no knowledge of the subject, what expectations do you have and how realistic are they? The main question is whether you will like it and stick with it. Having experience doesn't really determine whether you will or won't, but it would help you to have more realistic expectation.
Do internships any opportunity you can. Paid or unpaid. This way you definitely can catch up and get a decent idea what the job is all about.
Since you mention in your other question that you are interested in art. You can do art with horticulture and you can do horticulture with art... do a double major.

Question answered by Avalon
Horticulture is about plant cultivation including fruits, vegetables, herbs and ornamental plants in the garden. It's sub categories are floriculture (growing flowers), pomology (growing fruit), viticulture (growing grapes for wine), clericulture (growing vegetables), and landscape gardening.
Ornamental horticulture is more specific about floriculture and landscape horticulture. It covers growing and marketing decorative plants, greenhouse management, floral consulting, flower arranging, turf management and botanical garden care

To start with, Horticulture is a part of Agriculture. Agriculture is a broad area that breaks down into many different sections, Horticulture is one of them, along with Agronomy (crop science and soil science), Flora-culture, Siliviculture, aquaculture, etc. Horticulture deals with production of vegetables, fruits, lawns and landscaping, etc. All parts of Agriculture are inter-related but separate in study and application.

What is the difference between floriculture and ornamental horticulture?

Question answered by Emmaean
Floriculture is the study of flowers, and the growing aspect of that would be the production of cut flowers for the florist trade. If you want a degree and plan on being a florist, then Floriculture would be what you would want to study. Ornamental Horticulture, on the other hand, is chiefly the study of plants used for ornamenting landscapes. The growing aspect of O H can be divided into two parts - producing the ornamental plants in the nursery, and keeping them healthy once they are planted in the in the garden. Designing and arranging skills do share some principles and practices across both disciplines. And I believe most colleges teach Floriculture as a division of O H.

Question answered by Philip
'Botanists' are like plant scientist that may become notable through their fame and fortune expertise in the "scientific study of plant life", whereas 'Horticulturists' are like engineers that make a living by their knowledge about "cultivating plants".
Horticulturists can work in industry, government or educational institutions or private collections. They can be cropping systems engineers, wholesale or retail business managers, propagators and tissue culture specialists (fruits, vegetables, ornamentals, and turf), crop inspectors, crop production advisers, extension specialists, plant breeders, research scientists, and of course, teachers.
Disciplines which complement horticulture include biology, botany, entomology, chemistry, mathematics, genetics, physiology, statistics, computer science, and communications, garden design, planting design.
Subdisciplines of botany:
Agronomy — Application of plant science to crop production
Bryology — Mosses, liverworts, and hornworts
Economic botany — Study of plants of economic use or value
Ethnobotany — Relationship between humans and plants
Forestry — Forest management and related studies
Horticulture — Cultivated plants
Lichenology — The study of lichens
Paleobotany — Fossil plants
Palynology — Pollen and spores
Phycology — Algae
Phytochemistry — Plant secondary chemistry and chemical processes
Phytopathology — Plant diseases
Plant anatomy — Cell and tissue structure
Plant ecology — Role of plants in the environment
Plant genetics — Genetic inheritance in plants
Plant morphology — Structure and life cycles
Plant physiology — Life functions of plants
Plant systematics — Classification and naming of plants
If you were in 8 grade would you choose intro to horticulture (learning about plants) or online spanish?
I have to choose between intro to horticulture or online spanish never had ether.
P.S. i live in texas so Horticulture wouldnt be that useless.

Question answered by harwarda
Tough choice. I'd do Spanish, too, especially in Texas (it's a job skill), but I don't have much faith in online language courses unless there's some opportunity to actually speak the language. By taking the horticulture class, you might find out if you have an interest in pursuing Botany in college.

Question answered by marcNH
I enjoy horticulture because I love seeing plants grow, learning why they grow and implementing this to achieve the best results possible for the given situation. Sometimes you have to adapt to the environment when considering available light, temperature, available resources, and whether I am growing with hydroponics or soil.
