Subsistance farming is not what I would call gardening. The amount of planting, tending, harvesting and canning required to feed a family of 4 is a full-time job during the growing season. Nevermind all the other homemaking chores.
So get robots to do it. I never said anything about subsistence farming. But if we keep up with the idea of everyone needing a job we’ll never get to a place where nobody has to work.
We’ve already automated so much of it that just 1% of the population farming grows more than enough food for everyone.
I’m with you, and I agree. But the 1% doing all the hard work are going to have a real problem with the communists choosing “art therapy” as their activity. I think automation is the future.
Someone has to grow the food. That’s a job.
Farms are actually one of the industries seeing some of the most automation. The biggest issue right now is just harvesting.
Gardening is totally something people do for free.

Okay, so reduce it by another order of magnitude and everybody does a long weekend farming every ten years
