A '''gardener''' is any person involved in the growing and maintenance of plants, notably in a [[garden]]. The term encompasses persons from different walks of life involved in [[gardening]], arguably the oldest profession, from the [[hobbyist]] in a [[residential garden]], the homeowner supplementing the family food with a small vegetable garden or orchard, to a worker engaged in maintaining greenery for money or the [[head gardener]] in a large estate. The term gardener is also used to describe [[garden design|garden designers]] and [[landscape gardener]]s, who are involved chiefly in the design of gardens, rather than the practical aspects of gardening. Gardening has a long history, and there have been many pioneering gardeners of note, from the great landscape gardeners of the [[18th Century]], to those who created or expanded the idea of the "no-dig" garden. In addition, [[television]] lifestyle programs have spawned a number of [[celebrity gardener]]s. People who love gardening and who have the ability to make plants grow well are known to 'have green fingers'. ==See also== * [[Garden]] * [[Gardening]] * [[Head gardener]] [[Category:Gardeners| ]]
