* In ''{{VideoGame/Seraphim Slum}}'', Ezekiel is a twisted version of this. Not only does she care about her plants (which vomits out of her body into the slums), they grow and proliferate until they swallow the slum itself.

** Inverted with Shadow Weaver, who takes up gardening in season four without becoming any less of a ManipulativeBastard; as pointed out in [[https://larkfeather1153.tumblr.com/post/188932883680/this-probably-isnt-gonna-be-worded-as-well-as-id this post]] (link contains season 4 spoilers), her garden, which she's constantly pruning, is a microcosm of how she treats people - she raises them to serve her own purposes, shapes their growth, and tries to cut away the parts that don't serve her ends.
* ''WesternAnimation/StevenUniverse'': Rose Quartz was the most caring member of her team, being the start of Gems caring about humans, and also has some plant-based powers, that she uses to garden.

TruthInTelevision, especially as a hobby for the younger crowd.

* The Warhammer 40,000 fic ''Fanfic/AWolfInTheGarden'' portrays ''[[ThePlaguemaster Nurgle]]'' of all people as this. Though it's [[JustifiedTrope Justified]] with ''this'' version embodying all of Nurgle's ''positive'' aspects, which his Chaos counterpart actively purged from himself and sealed behind The Veil along with the other Chaos Gods.

Compare GreenThumb, which is about plant controlling powers, and FertileFeet, where a person's powers cause plants to instantly grow whenever their feet touch the ground. But if they fall into a HeroicBSOD, they might end up with a NeglectedGarden.

* ''LightNovel/ACertainMagicalIndex'': Harzak Lolas, the caretaker of Lindy Blueshake, also gardens as a hobby.

* ''LightNovel/MyNextLifeAsAVillainessAllRoutesLeadToDoom'':
** After awakening her PastLifeMemories at age 8, Catarina takes up farming to both increase her affinity with earth magic and so she'll have a useful skill in the event that she gets exiled. Even after finding out that it wouldn't help her with magic at all, she continues to do it as a hobby well into her teenage years, much to the confusion of everyone around her.
** Mary tended the flowers in her family's garden when she was younger, and it was Alan commenting on her green thumb that caused her to fall in love with him in the original game. Catarina ends up stealing that line by accident, befriending her in hopes that she could help with the wilting plants on her farm.

* Brother Francis, the gardener at the American Embassy in ''Literature/GoodOmens'', who teaches young Warlock about caring for all living things, even Brother Slug and Sister Potato Weevil. May in fact be St Francis of Assisi (except in [[Series/GoodOmens the TV series]], where he's Aziraphale in disguise.)

* From ''Franchise/StarTrek'':

* ''VideoGame/{{Undertale}}'': Asgore, the [[TheGoodKing kindly king of the Underground]] and DiscOneFinalBoss, is fond of gardening. His throne room is filled with golden flowers, and [[EstablishingCharacterMoment he is seen watering them when the player first meets him.]]
** In ''VideoGame/{{Deltarune}}'', Asgore owns a flower shop on the surface.
* ''VideoGame/TheOuterWorlds'', Adelaide [=McDevitt=] is the leader of the Deserters and their faction at the Botanical Lab. When first arriving, Adelaide will welcome you with food, tea, and a place to rest. [[spoiler: Somewhat subverted in that she has no compassion for Reed Tobson, due to his withholding medicine when her son was dying because company policy was that sick workers were not productive enough to deserve it.]] This is what caused her to leave Edgewater and establish her garden at the Botanical Lab in the first place.
* ''VideoGame/TatteredWorld'': Robin is the resident gardener, having gotten into the hobby as a child when [[spoiler: her grandmother snapped her out of a DumbStruck state by having her sing to a cabbage to help it grow better (when in reality, she stepped in to care for it behind Robin's back)]]. She loves all plants greatly, having a quest where she agonizes over how few plants her home remnant of Hope has, and her caring nature extends to her friends, as she has a quote where she expresses that she often gives a friend of hers, Andre, a place to relax when he needs it.

* ''[[Franchise/{{Peanuts}} It Was My Best Birthday Ever, Charlie Brown]]'' features Mimi, a girl whom Linus meets while out roller-skating. She absolutely ''loves'' tending to her flower garden, and is very knowledgeable about the species that she plants; she's also very friendly.

* ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeague'': An AlternateUniverse version of Poison Ivy was encountered by the Flash. She had a pleasant and passive demanour and had taken up a role as a gardener rather than her usual [[WellIntentionedExtremist Eco-Warrior]]. [[spoiler: This was of course due to her being lobotomised by [[BewaretheSuperman Justice Lord]] [[EvilTwin Superman]]]]

* ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyEquestriaGirlsForgottenFriendship'' introduces Wallflower Blush, a Canterlot High School student who's tending to a small garden on school grounds. She's rather proud of being in the gardening club, even though she's the sole member... and pretty much the only person to ''know'' about the garden. Yes, she has a bit of trouble connecting with other people. She gets better toward the end of the special, being joined by Derpy Hooves and Roseluck.
