I heartily approve of {wIjwI'Hom} and {Du'Hom} for "gardener" and "garden." What is a farmer but a gardener on a larger scale? Remember, {-Hom} doesn't necessarily mean the noun is smaller; it just means the noun is a more minor version that it would be without the {-Hom}.

Welcome David,
There's no word for gardener or garden, but you can construct something like "little farmer": wIjwI'Hom :) Or, if you want, "little planter": pochwI'Hom Phonetically, wouldn't something like *jarDIyna' come closer?
Just thinking...
I guess, a more active member will soon give you a longer welcome.
Greetings,
- André
