Commercial gardener
As trade gardener one is gardener called acting with plants and seeds. These can also be drawn or created by himself. The term is less common today and is also not a recognized professional title.
The first tree nurseries and nurseries for ornamental trees in Germany probably originated in Hamburg . The first commercial gardener is Hans Meilan , who lived there from 1635. While all ornamental and useful plants were grown in the first commercial nurseries, in the second half of the 19th century most of the companies were already specialized. Vegetable and aromatic plants, ornamental plants or woody plants in tree nurseries were either grown and marketed. Depending on the type of farm, warm or cold houses, hotbeds or outdoor crops were necessary.
