On the Internet Movie Database http://www.imdb.com 
you may choose the "Bios" search from the pull-down menu
and enter the keyword: gardening. This search produces a list
of over 100 actors, actresses, writers, producers, etc., with 
links to their mini-biography or trivia sections in which the word 
"gardening" is mentioned.
Warning: the list includes both living persons and those who are,
ahem, pushing up daisies.

For a book project, I've used half a dozen search engines and at 
least that many phrasings trying to find names of U.S. celebrities 
who garden for a hobby. I can't believe that information isn't out 
there -- I must be asking the wrong question, or asking it the wrong
way.

While I have unearthed a few, only one is of the Big Name variety I 
need for the project (Martha Stewart). Can anyone suggest other 
people to investigate, or ways to phrase the question that might lead 
me to the information.

Thank you!
