Ellis Andrew Stones (1 October 1895 – 9 April 1975) was an Australian landscape architect of private and public gardens—many displaying naturalistic rockwork—and a conservationist whose work and ideas influenced approaches to public landscaping in Australia.[1][2] Based in Melbourne, Australia, he was an early proponent of the use of Australian native plants[3] and one of the founding fathers of the Australian landscaping style.[2][4]
