A horticulture and floriculture device that typically includes a track system, a plurality of hanging basket receiving hooks, and at least one motor assembly is provided. The track system receives and carries a moveable chain system and typically includes a plurality of track segments that have a chain carrying portion and an upper portion. The track segments are interconnected with one another to create a travel path. The moveable chain system includes a series of interconnected chain links having an aperture wherein the chain links include horizontally oriented and vertically oriented chain links. The plurality of hanging basket receiving hooks have a cap portion having a base and a main hook portion between the distal end and the base of the cap portion where the cap portion engages, is at least partially spaced within, and is seated in the chain link's aperture such that the chain is capable of moving within the track and carrying the hook around the track with the main hook portion accessible by a user to hang a hanging basket on the hook.
