Could anyone translate this phrase into Latin for me?
'Horticultural Paradise'
Thanks a million.

Although it's not a Roman or even medieval Latin word, "horticultura" is, as a parallel to "agricultura", a perfectly legitimate Latin word.
So your translation would be "Paradisus horticulturae" = a paradise of horticulture.
That would be near enough your English expression, and still proper Latin.

i've been studying latin only for 3 years and i'm italian.. for paradise you can use paradisus but for horticultural it's a bit complicated..it's like translating "computer" into latin..because hortus and cultura have been put togheter nowadays..
"paradisus horticulturalis" should be well written.
the adjective goes after the name, but if you need other ideas
you could say "horti paradisus", that means literally "paradise of the garden".
hope it has been useful ;)
bye!

Paradisus ad hortos

Paradisus ad hortorum cultum pertinens

The first means more like 'Plant paradise'. The second is literally 'Paradise pertaining to the cultivation of plants'. The 'ad hortum...' was used in written Latin.

The science of horticulture was called 'hortorum disciplina', literally 'the discipline of plants'.

Since both words come from greek and or latin, it is easy:
paradisum horticulturale
