Etymology
The term 'nurseryman' has its roots in the word 'nursery', which originally referred to a place where children were raised and nurtured. In the context of plants, a nursery is a location where young plants and trees are cultivated and grown until they are ready for sale or transplanting. The profession of nurturing young plants began to take shape in the 18th century, coinciding with the rise of horticulture as a popular science and leisure activity. The demand for ornamental and agricultural plants led to the establishment of specialized nurseries, where skilled individuals, referred to as nurserymen, would cultivate and care for these plants, sharing their knowledge and expertise with the wider community.
