Gill Lawson
Aussie Gill Lawson first worked in New Zealand as a horticulturist. It was 1987 and a boom period for our horticultural exports to Japan. Gill had crossed the ditch after becoming disenchanted with working in Sydney. She settled easily here and loved her new job. Then in October the sharemarket crashed, having a huge impact on her new employers. “I went home to Australia for Christmas and while I was there I was told ‘sorry we’re closing the company’” she says. “So that was kind of sad, I didn’t get to work here for long.”
But 30 years on she’s back, this time as head of Lincoln’s School of Landscape Architecture.
