Stopper their ears. Put out their eyes.

Never trust a gardener.

They run with their noses too close to the ground to be honest. They hang too much underneath windows, and around hedges, and behind trees. They are too familiar with birds and other airborne gossipmongers. They handle snakes with suspicious ease. They are always innocently armed and have easy access to entrances and exits and sheds.

One too many daughters, kingdoms, and secrets have been lost due to the Gardener.

Think I'm wrong? Here are a few examples:
Cain
Ascalaphus
Sam Gamgee
Rapunzel's witch
The royal gardeners to Her Majesty, The Queen of Hearts
