The horticultural sectors are divided into seven economic activities
- market gardening for the production of vegetables (see the market gardening sub-category on www.ma-propriete-agricole.fr)
- fruit growing, for the production of fruit (see the sub-category arboriculture on www.ma-propriete-agricole.fr)
- ornamental horticulture, which includes the production of various ornamental plants
- floriculture for the production of flowers
- nursery for the production of woody species, ornamental and non-ornamental trees and shrubs
- greenhouse agriculture for the production of vegetables, flowers and greenhouse nursery plants
- landscaping, an economic activity linked to the creation and maintenance of gardens or large areas.
Production is carried out either in greenhouses, tunnels or in the open ground. New cultivation methods are being developed, such as aquaponics (which combines the production of plants with fish or shellfish), hydroponics (soil is replaced by clay balls, mineral wool or coconut fibres combined with irrigation) and aeroponics (which uses no substrate and feeds the roots by irrigation in the form of mist).
The horticulture sector includes the production of trees, shrubs (nurseryman), plants, bubbles, onions, seeds, flowers and cut foliage.
