Worker’s greed ran wild (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

gardener

'worker's' is the definition.
(type of worker)

'greed ran wild' is the wordplay.
'wild' is an anagram indicator.
'greed'+'ran'='greedran'
'greedran' with letters rearranged gives 'GARDENER'.

(Other definitions for gardener that I've seen before include "One may get food" , "he wants to cultivate?" , "Plant tender" , "He tends cultivated land around house" , "someone in bed" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
