- 1Plural of gardener.
Local gardeners swapped seeds and advice at the spring market.
The estate employed several gardeners to maintain its grounds year-round.
Note
The plural is regular: -s is added to the agent noun in -er, with no change to the stem. The same spelling covers every use of the singular, including the old, now obsolete derogatory slang for coachmen who drove badly, and the surname, where "the Gardeners" names a family. In the possessive, the apostrophe follows the s for several (the gardeners' shed) and comes before it for one (the gardener's shed).
