organic gardener
Pesticide-shunning grower
An organic gardener is someone who grows plants without synthetic fertilizers, pesticides, or genetically modified organisms, relying instead on natural methods like composting, companion planting, and biological pest control.
The term emphasizes both the practice and an identity: She's been an organic gardener for twenty years.
The commitment often extends beyond technique to environmental philosophy.
