Etymology
From Middle English gardener, either calqued or loaned from Anglo-Norman and Old Northern French gardinier. 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 (effectively "wortward").
Meanings

At the far end of the houses the head gardener stood waiting for his mistress, and he gave her strips of bass to tie up her nosegay. This she did slowly and laboriously, with knuckly old fingers that shook.
1918, W[illiam] B[abington] Maxwell, chapter XIX, in The Mirror and the Lamp, Indianapolis, Ind.: The Bobbs-Merrill Company, →OCLC:"Ponder the fact that God has made you a gardener, to root out vice and to plant virtue." — St. Catherine of Siena
