Horticulture and gardening play a significant role in the upkeep and overall management of accommodation, office, and catering facilities. In modern facility management and housekeeping operations, the maintenance of green spaces and landscaped areas contributes not only to the aesthetic appeal of the premises but also to environmental sustainability, hygiene, and the psychological well-being of occupants and visitors. Proper horticultural planning and gardening practices enhance the physical environment of buildings and ensure that the premises remain attractive, healthy, and welcoming. One of the primary roles of horticulture and gardening in accommodation facilities such as hotels, guest houses, and resorts is to improve the visual appearance of the property. Landscaped gardens, lawns, flower beds, decorative plants, and trees create an attractive environment for guests. When visitors arrive at an accommodation facility, the first impression is often formed by the appearance of the entrance, driveway, and surrounding gardens. Well-maintained lawns, trimmed hedges, colorful flowers, and decorative plants contribute to a pleasant and inviting atmosphere. The housekeeping department often coordinates with the horticulture or gardening staff to ensure that outdoor areas remain neat, clean, and properly maintained. Gardening also contributes to maintaining cleanliness and order around accommodation facilities. Poorly maintained gardens may lead to accumulation of fallen leaves, dry branches, and weeds, which can make the surroundings look untidy and may also attract insects and pests. Through regular pruning, trimming, watering, and cleaning of garden areas, the horticulture team ensures that the surroundings remain hygienic. This supports the work of housekeeping staff, as clean and well-managed outdoor areas reduce the amount of dust, dirt, and debris that may enter indoor spaces. Another important role of horticulture is environmental improvement and air purification. Plants and trees play a crucial role in improving air quality by absorbing carbon dioxide and releasing oxygen. In accommodation and office environments where many people work or stay for long hours, fresh air and greenery contribute to a healthier atmosphere. Indoor plants placed in lobbies, corridors, meeting rooms, and offices help reduce air pollutants and improve humidity levels. This supports housekeeping operations by creating a comfortable and healthier environment for occupants. Gardening also contributes to temperature control and energy efficiency in buildings. Trees and shrubs planted strategically around accommodation and office buildings provide natural shade, which helps reduce heat absorption by walls and roofs. This can lower indoor temperatures and reduce the need for excessive air conditioning. In catering facilities such as restaurants and hotels, where kitchens generate heat, surrounding greenery helps moderate the external environment and create a more comfortable setting. As a result, horticulture indirectly supports efficient facility management and operational sustainability. In office facilities, horticulture and gardening help create a productive and
