About 1800, the previously separate worlds of botany and gardening began to hybridize promiscuously. Gardeners, who had once learned their art only through experience, with no theory but in aesthetics, began to be interested in what had been the province of botanists, particularly taxonomy. Conversely, botany, a science which had been concerned with naming and arranging, opened up to include such new things as biogeography, plant physiology and chemistry. Even taxonomy, botany's heart, was challenged by the status of the new products of plant breeders and hybridizers. The result was a new science combined with a new aesthetic, marked by the appearance in English and French of a new word, horticulture. Botanists and gardeners in both countries came together around a common set of interests, encompassing the collecting, identification, classification, and cultivation of new species, the investigation of vegetable physiology, the invention of new technologies for growing and transporting plants, and the discussion of philosophical and practical issues in widely-read botanical and horticultural periodicals.

520 $a About 1800, the previously separate worlds of botany and gardening began to hybridize promiscuously. Gardeners, who had once learned their art only through experience, with no theory but in aesthetics, began to be interested in what had been the province of botanists, particularly taxonomy. Conversely, botany, a science which had been concerned with naming and arranging, opened up to include such new things as biogeography, plant physiology and chemistry. Even taxonomy, botany's heart, was challenged by the status of the new products of plant breeders and hybridizers. The result was a new science combined with a new aesthetic, marked by the appearance in English and French of a new word, horticulture. Botanists and gardeners in both countries came together around a common set of interests, encompassing the collecting, identification, classification, and cultivation of new species, the investigation of vegetable physiology, the invention of new technologies for growing and transporting plants, and the discussion of philosophical and practical issues in widely-read botanical and horticultural periodicals.
520 $a The new horticulture profoundly transformed the world of second nature, the cultivated world around us. The growth of cities and suburbs, the increase of exploration and world trade, the expansion of a middle class possessed of money and leisure time, and the popularity of natural history fostered by Linnaeus's accessible systematics laid the groundwork. The new middle classes created by the Industrial Revolution took up horticulture, and turned the half-acre gardens of their new suburban homes into miniature botanical gardens, hybridized as a hobby, and encyclopedically collected ferns and orchids.
520 $a This renovation of private life changed the face of public life also. England's major horticulturists, J. C. Loudon, John Lindley, John Stevens Henslow, and Joseph Paxton among them, joined with Utilitarian social reformers like Edwin Chadwick both in making botany and horticulture part of elementary education and in designing and agitating for public parks in urban planning. In Britain this happened piecemeal across the first half of the nineteenth century. In the Paris of the Second Empire, the horticulturists' ideal city was realized by Napoleon III, his factotum Georges Haussmann, and his park designer Adolphe Alphand.
