Vocabulary:
Horticulturalists are people who care for gardens and the plants that grow within them.

Photosynthesis is the process where plants, using water and carbon dioxide, transform sunlight into energy (carbohydrates) to fuel their grown and produce oxygen.
Chlorophyll is the green pigment in plants parts, which collects the sunlight for photosynthesis.
Potential energy is the energy an object has because of how it is positioned in relation to other objects.
Kinetic energy is the energy of an object due to its motion.
Mycorrhizae fungi are fungi that exist in relationship to tree roots. They have a mutually beneficial symbiotic relationship, where each provide benefit to the other.
Evaporation is when liquid water becomes vapor and it returned to the air.
Mulch is both the process of adding a protective layer to the top of soil and a general term for the material being added.
