A number of gardeners and curators have made their impression on the gardens.

A Mr Hubber was perhaps the first gardener/curator, around 1868.

In 1870 James Kirk was the caretaker and gardener, under the direction of R. Harper. Mr Kirk died following an operation to remove cancer in the Melbourne Hospital in January 1874. He was buried in the Kyneton Cemetery, the funeral being attended by a large number of Rechabites of which he was a member. His widow and family were left only scantily provided for and a subscription was raised for their benefit.

Mr Ferguson was curator of parks and gardens in 1882.

Mr Orames was in the position in 1885.

Edward Gray, the longest-serving curator, took up the position 1887 and served for over 46 years. However, his term was not continuous. He was farewelled as curator on 24 December 1903, moving to a position as curator of Port Fairy botanic gardens for 18 months and from there to Footscray for 13 months.

Mr Gray was replaced by Mr. Orames, who retired as curator in May 1906, dying shortly thereafter.

Mr Gray returned and in July of that year started a regular column of garden notes in the Kyneton Guardian. He also spoke on gardening, including a broadcast in Garden Week, April 1928, on trees for high altitudes. He was also bandmaster for the town brass band. He resigned due to ill health in January 1937.

Ralph Matthews was appointed as curator in January 1937 (from 51 applicants), retiring in March 1967. Robert Butler worked as gardener under both Gray and Matthews.

Graham T. Horncastle was curator from April 1967 until September 1978.

Walter Strauch was curator from June 1978 to September 1985.

More recent curators have included Gerry van Orsouw, Tony van Orsouw (1991-????), Phillip Don and Dale Gillis.

Peter Jones is the current Parks Development Officer for the Shire and has responsibility for the maintenance and development of the gardens.
