William Guilfoyle
William Robert Guilfoyle (born 8 December 1840 and died 25 June 1912) was a landscape gardener and botanist in Victoria, Australia, acknowledged as the architect of the Royal Botanic Gardens, Melbourne and was responsible for the design of many parks and gardens in Melbourne and regional Victoria.
==Early life==
Guilfoyle was born in Chelsea, England, to Charlotte (née Delafosse) and Michael Guilfoyle (died 1884), a landscape gardener and nurseryman. The family migrated to Sydney in 1853 where William Guilfoyle was privately educated at Lyndhurst College, Glebe where he received botanical instruction by William Woolls, William Sharp MacLeay (1792–1865) and John MacGillivray (1821–1867), who all encouraged him to follow in his father's career.
In 1868 William Guilfoyle was appointed to the scientific staff of ''HMS Challenger'' that travelled around the Pacific Ocean. He recorded the voyage with a series of watercolour sketches and a detailed account in the ''Sydney Mail''.〔Almond, E. (2002), 'Guilfoyle, William Robert', in R. Aitken and M. Looker (eds), ''Oxford Companion to Australian Gardens'', South Melbourne, Oxford University Press, pp. 281–83.〕 Guilfoyle settled in the Tweed River valley where he grew tobacco and sugar cane and first met the noted German botanist, Ferdinand von Mueller.
