Horticultural Societies

This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.

State

Horticultural societies subsist by cultivating plants in garden plots, usually without ploughs or irrigation; stable rainfall let them stay put, founding the first permanent settlements.

Show

A village plants the same plot year after year and builds houses meant to last, not to be abandoned.

Watch for

Horticulture and agriculture differ by technology and scale, not by crop.
