After searching around on the net for a while, I wasn’t able to find a reference anywhere, so I guess it is up to us ourselves, to come up with our own ‘collective noun’, for our own kind.
What should the collective noun for a group of gardeners be?
This is not an exclusive list, as I am sure that there are a myriad of other possible terms which might be applied to a group of gardeners. But here are my suggestions.
A Bed of Gardeners
A Bouquet of Gardeners
A Bunch of Gardeners
A Club of Gardeners
A Fall of Gardeners
A Forest of Gardeners
A Gossip of Gardeners
A Grove of Gardeners
A Hothouse of Gardeners
A Nursery of Gardeners
A Pod of Gardeners
A Pot of Gardeners
A Shed of Gardeners
A Show of Gardeners
A Spade of Gardeners
A Spring of Gardeners
A Truss of Gardeners
An Orchard of Gardeners
My personal favourites though would have to be ‘A Bouquet of Gardeners’, followed by ‘A Show of Gardeners’. Anyone else got any suggestions, or has found an accepted version of a collective noun for gardeners anywhere?

Definitely a gaggle of garden bloggers.....
my goodness look at all the extra ones! What a thought. I thought of what we call a group of hummingbirds: a charm of hummingbirds and I like the ring of that as it refers to gardeners. After all don't gardeners have the power to give delight and to captivate?
