| Abstract/Contents: | "Urban horticulture is a new area of scientific horticulture concerned with functional uses of plants to maintain and improve urban environments. 'Functional uses' means that pants are used not only for beauty and ornamentation, but also as screens against wind, headlights and unpleasant views, to influence climate, perhaps to reduce noise and combat forms of air pollution, for essential food and variation in human diet, and to improve the human psyche in densely populated areas." Discusses issues that face this new branch of science, including research and educational needs. |
