Anyone who says flower growing is not an art is disagreeing with the new oxford american dictionary.
So the dictionary is wrong about the definition of art?more than happy to do that
i'd be more inclined, if pressed, to call it a craft.
anybody ever see horticulture in an Arts faculty?
it's nearer Plant Science, no?

art |ärt|
noun
4. a skill at doing a specified thing, typically one acquired through practice.
Unless the dictionary is wrong about that too.craft |kraft|
noun
1. an activity involving skill in making things by hand.
science |ˈsīəns|
noun
the intellectual and practical activity encompassing the systematic study of the structure and behavior of the physical and natural world through observation and experiment.
Science and art certainly almost always over lap.

Unless you make your buds with your own hands instead of creating an environment which allows the plant to do it, then it is not a craft.

Eddie, you tend your plants by hand. You do not MAKE them by hand. You do not craft your plants.
There is an art to science and a science to art.
You really cannot argue, unless you are arguing with the english language.
Obviously everything that is considered an art is not "one of the arts".
But to deny that growing a garden of any type is an art is to remain partially illiterate.
And yet you still can never craft a flower.
no we dont craft the flower
but we craft an organic mix will influence the taste and smell
so while we are not crafting flowers
we are crafting organic elements and using our senses to gauge result
much like making a meal, visual components are not the only dictate of art
since theses flowers aren't grown for looks but grown for the pleasure and medicinal purposes i think the interpretation of it as an art is very relative to how and why your consuming
if your taking a hit of oil to combat side effects of chemo that is one thing
but if you grow for years and constantly adjust your using to get a desired taste and smell in your resin using a organic recipe your entering the realm of art
Oxford American Writer's Thesarus said:art
noun
1 fine art, artwork.
2 skill, technique, knack, facility, ability, know-how.
3 cunning, artfulness, slyness, craftiness, guile; deceit, duplicity, artifice, wiles.
