      I cannot agree with you.
      "Gardening" is often use by people who have garden ;)

      -What are you doing on Sunday?
      -Some gardening (czytaj: siedzę w ogródku: pielę, ścinam trawę, dopieszczam
      żywopłot, przesadzam kwiatki...)

      "I cannot agree with you.

      pielę, ścinam trawę, dopieszczam żywopłot, przesadzam kwiatki...)"

      So, how is it not consistent with Ontarian's definition of gardening as in:
      "gardening:the act of cultivating or tending a garden"

      Going back to the question that started it all: " I can do gardening". To me it
      means that a person will cut the grass, clip few shrubs, essentially keep it
      looking presentable.

      When I hear "I can do landscaping" in the context of maintenance, I'm thinking
      that the person will cut the grass, clip few shrubs, move couple of plants
      around and just charge me more. However, if I hear "I am a landscape designer"
      I run as fast as I can :)

      It's not a great difference, many people use those two words interchangeably.
      But to me "gardening" is a matter of maintaining, while "landscaping" means
      designing and executing a project that will result in a changed (and hopefully
      improved) appearance of a piece of land in question.

      For my money Ontarian's definitions are closer to my interpretation of the job
      descriptions.
