Hunting and gathering is work. If you want to eat you need to work to get food.

Yeah, and imagine the community gardens if everyone had free time to help maintain it just a little

I don’t want to garden, could I exchange some of my goods for yours? Maybe a standard currency so that it was easy to share that with someone else.

You would have to garden if that’s not what youre good at. You would be able to help out your community in whatever way best suits you.
But in this scenario, UBI doesn’t mean nobody works anymore. It just means nobody lives a life where any day they could homeless and without food. But if you want to live a life of luxury you still work. But you don’t HAVE to.

Horticulture? That’s work.

Yes. I’m saying everyone can come together to work for a common goal. A common goal of a healthier community with fresh food. And they can work on this farm while volunteering thier time since (ideally) nobody would have to have a job

I put in labor for food. That’s a job. You’re describing a farmer. This is how the majority of humanity has spent the majority of its time until the industrial revolution. If you’re not doing your job farming then you’re doing your job hunting and/or gathering. These are all jobs humans have been doing before we evolved into homo sapiens.
