backyard gardener
Amateur plot tender
A backyard gardener is someone who grows plants—vegetables, flowers, herbs—in their home's outdoor space, typically as a hobby rather than professionally.
The term suggests modest scale and personal enjoyment over commercial production: She's just a backyard gardener, but her tomatoes are better than anything at the store.
It can also imply amateur status, sometimes dismissively.
