Urban horticulture

With urbanization, public green spaces within city environments are disappearing. Technological advances and the commonality of electronic devices result in people spending less time in nature. This book presents the importance of horticulture in urban areas and covers various types of communities and programs in urban horticulture. It discusses public and private community gardens; estate, university, and prison gardens; horticulture displays at zoos and aquariums; horticultural therapy; state and federal programs in horticulture; and their management and administration, programming, evaluation, and benefits.
