See garden, and compare German Gärtner (“gardener”), which is equivalent to a derivative of the German cognate to English garden, Garten (“garden”), + -er. Displaced native Old English wyrtweard.

noun

  1. One who gardens; one who grows plants or cultivates a garden.
    "Ponder the fact that God has made you a gardener, to root out vice and to plant virtue." — St. Catherine of Siena
