A cultivating group is a group of people who work together to cultivate something, such as a garden or a field. The term 'HOERS' is an acronym for Horticultural Operatives, which are individuals who are employed in the horticulture industry. They are responsible for the cultivation and maintenance of plants, trees, and shrubs. They may also be involved in the harvesting of crops, the planting of new crops, and the application of fertilizers and pesticides.
