Thomas Lesley came from Scotland to become the head gardener for Henry Dutton, the owner of Anlaby Gardens in Kapunda, South Australia. He managed a team of gardeners on the vast estate, which had many arboretums and various plant species, including fruits and vegetables. Thomas later became a plant propagator at the Adelaide Botanic Gardens.
