Answer:

Leafing—a gardener tends plants that have leaves

Explanation:

A landscape can be Urban as well, but plants do tend to have leafs. It's a noticeably odd choice of words and it has a purpose. There's no pun in the use of the words "Enjoy" and "Magazine". But the word leaf can mean two things that relate to the gardener and his action in the excerpt:

<em>"a flattened structure of a higher plant, typically green and blade-like, that is attached to a stem directly or via a stalk"</em>

or

<em>"turn over (the pages of a book or the papers in a pile), reading them quickly or casually"</em>

I did more so you can choose since they aren't great.

(This was kind of fun I don't know. No it was a bit painfully difficult and cringey.)

By the way you misspelled traveler as "traverler" in the last blurb.
