Abstract: Conservation Horticulture (1) is an essential, central aspect of modern botanic garden culture and operations, (2) cannot be separated from botanic gardens and (3) produces positive outcomes in every other programme with which it intersects. Here, given the inseparable nature of each, a definition for Conservation Horticulture is provided along with an aligned definition of Botanic Garden. The concept of Conservation Horticulture is illustrated with examples.
