Who is The Gardener?
Gardeners are reserved, practical, warm and flexible. You enjoy simple pleasures, close relationships and a gentle pace of life. You're accepting of others and prefer to live and let live.
You don't feel the need to stand out or to plan everything. That relaxed, kind nature makes you easy to be around, though you may sometimes drift instead of pursuing your own goals.
