Audubon, John James

Birding is a hobby concerned with the observation and amateur study of birds. The term is of American origin; the term "birdwatching" is still commonly used in Great Britain and Ireland and by non-birders in the United States. Since visual observation is routinely complemented with auditory observation, the term "birding" is perhaps more accurate, and appears to be growing in usage. Click Here for More

Abrams, Peggy

The word "horticulture" is formed from two Latin words "hortus," meaning "garden"; and "cultura," meaning "cultivation." Horticulture is a branch of agriculture, which is the science of farming, or the cultivation and management of plants and animals to supply man's needs. Gardening is the cultivation of plants within a relatively small designated area, such as in borders or enclosed spaces around a building, in a greenhouse, or in a container. Landscape gardening also includes the design and maintenance of areas such as sports fields, golf courses, public parks and cemeteries. Click Here for More
