Horticulture is the science involved in the cultivation, propagation, managing, design and marketing of ornamental plants, trees, turf, vegetables, fruits and nuts.It is unique amongst sciences as it not only involves science and technology, but it also incorporates art, principles of design (landscaping) and general plant management.

Fusion is also a science meaning the merging of diverse, distinct or separate elements to form a solid, unified whole.
