Gordon Ford (1918–1999) created ruggedly beautiful gardens in a distinctly Australian style.[1]
After returning from service in New Guinea in WWII, he settled near Montsalvat where he dug out a site and built a house made out of mud bricks from the clay.[2]
Ford worked closely with Eltham architect, Alistair Knox.[3] He trained as a landscape gardener with Ellis Stones. [4]
In the last years of his life he, in turn, trained landscape designer, Sam Cox.[5]
