Gordon Ford


Gordon Ford was an Australian landscape designer who created rugged gardens which were noted to be of a distinctly Australian style.
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.
Ford worked closely with British architect Alistair Knox. He trained as a landscape gardener with Ellis Stones.
In the last years of his life he trained landscape designer Sam Cox.
