gardeners
Those who cultivate
Gardeners is the plural of gardener, a person who tends gardens—cultivating plants, maintaining landscapes, or growing food.
The term covers both hobbyists who putter in backyard plots and professionals who design or maintain grounds for others: The gardeners arrived early to prune the hedges.
Weekend gardeners crowded the nursery looking for tomato seedlings.
