A gardener droid, also known as a gardening droid or landscaping droid, represented a type of class five droid. These droids were designed to maintain and enhance outdoor spaces through activities like hedge trimming, garden upkeep, and general landscaping. Depending on the specific model, they were equipped with diverse tools, including watering systems and shears. These droids were distinct from class two environmental droids, which were more sophisticated and used for terraforming purposes.
The Mark II Z3-NO series landscaping droid was a sought-after item among wealthy individuals across the galaxy circa 32 BBY. During the Galactic Civil War, gardener droids saw use on the luxury liner called Star of Empire. Post 40 ABY, a gardener droid discovered the corpse of Jedi Master Tresina Lobi within the hedges of Fellowship Plaza, following her murder at the hands of Lumiya and Alema Rar during the Duel in the Fellowship Plaza.
