ORNAMENTAL HORTICULTURE AND COOPERATION POSSIBILITIES BETWEEN GARDENERS IN SLOVENIA

Okrasno vrtnarstvo se ukvarja s pridelavo okrasnih rastlin in je del vrtnarstva, ki ga skupaj s sadjarstvom in vinogradništvom uvrščamo v gospodarsko dejavnost hortikulturo. Pregled okrasnega vrtnarstva je v nalogi predstavljen na podlagi statističnih popisov vrtnarstva v obdobju med letoma 2000–2013. Namen diplomskega dela je bil ugotoviti, ali si slovenski okrasni vrtnarji želijo povezovanja, v sklopu katerega bi lažje skrbeli za promocijo, nabavo, prodajo in izobraževanje. Analizo smo opravili z anketno raziskavo, ki smo jo izvedli med pridelovalci okrasnih rastlin v letu 2003. Rezultati analize so pokazali potrebo in nujnost po združevanju in skupnem nastopanju na trgu, saj bi kar 93 % anketiranih pridelovalcev želelo vstopiti v katerokoli obliko združenja.Ornamental horticulture deals with production of ornamental plants and is part of gardening, which together with fruit growing and wine growing belong to the economic activity horticulture.
