Gardener
A gardener is any person involved in the growing and maintenance of plants, notably in a garden. The terms encompasses persons from different walks of life involved in gardening from any number of aspects, from the hobbyist in a residential garden, the homeowner supplementing the family food with a small vegetable garden or orchard or the head gardener in a large estate.
Gardening has a long history, and there have been pioneering gardeners of note such as landscapers and those who created or expanded the idea of the "no-dig" garden. In addition, television lifestyle programs have spawned a number of celebrity gardeners.
