"George Gardner" is listed in the Will of "John Gardner" that appears in the "Registered wills and original wills, administrations and inventories, 1494-1860, and, act books, 1532-1638 for Diocese of Lichfield Episcopal Consistory Court" (FHL Film # 95389). The Will was written on 28 February 1538/1539 and was probated on 23 March 1538/1539. The Will states that "John Gardner" was "of St. Chad, Shrewsbury", and mentions the following individuals: "Dawne my wife overseer", "John my son", "Thomas my son", "George my son", "my father John Gardner", and "Thomas Gardner kinsman overseer". Note: George Gardner did not have any children until after his father, John Gardner, had died in 1539, because John Gardner states in his Will (of 1539) that "for Lacke [lack] of Yssue [issue] of the said George lawfully do [I give] to Thomas my son...".
"Richard Gardiner" is listed in the Will of "John Gardiner" that appears in the "Registered wills and original wills, administrations and inventories, 1494-1860, and, act books, 1532-1638 for Diocese of Lichfield Episcopal Consistory Court" (FHL Film # 95391). The Will was written in November 1557 and probated on 23 May 1558. The Will states that John Gardiner was of Shrewsbury and mentions the following individuals: "Margaret my wife", "Richard my son", "Humfrey my son", "Robert my son", and "Elizabeth my daughter".
The burial of "Richard Garner" is listed in the parish records of St. Alkmund, Shrewsbury, Shropshire, England (which is viewable on FindMyPast), and which states that "Richard Garner [a] couriser [possibly French for chauffeur or courier] was buried" on 15 May 1609 in St. Alkmund, Shrewsbury.
"Richard Gardiner" is listed in the "Transcations of the Shropshire Archaeological and Natural History Society" (2nd Series, Volume 4, 1892, pages 241-242), as follows:
Richard Gardiner was a burgess of Shrewsbury, and was born, we may conjecture, towards the middle of the first half of the sixtheen centruy, before parish registers were established by law. He was probably not far short of 70 when he wrote his "Profitable Instructions" [which was published in 1603]. By trade he was a dyer, but it is important to remember that he was also free of the Company of Drapers. From the Herald's Visitation of 1623 it appears that the head of the family was then settled at Sarsaw.
In the so-called Taylor MS. (transcribed by the late Mr. Leighton, Vol. IV., pages 239 to 352, of the 1st Series of these Transcations) the name of Rychard Gardner occurs first as that of one of the three burgesses who were charged (1570), in consideration of a ten years' lease of the common field called "behind the walls" to bring the water for the conduit in leaden pipes "nowe in hande" at a certain day to run in sundry places in the town.
In 1572 he is said to have found by his great diligence and travail great store of "seacole" at a place called "Emsterie heye."
In August, 1573, by his diligent oversight the conduit water was brought to "the upper eende of Shoomacker rowe and the great sesterne of lead was madre and fynyshyd and also the stone wooreke about the same." In August of the next year the water ran in four more places, viz.: "at mardole head, at the aple market, at the sextry wall and at the wyld coop."
Vol. IV., 2nd S. Again in 1579 we are told that land was purchased near the conduit head, and the springs covered and enclosed: "to ensue which wooreke and oversight both of the saide springs and headd one Rychard Gardner of Salop draper dyd tacke greate paynes whose pollytyke devyses zealous hart and dylygent travells for the comodyty and helthe of the hole towne and posteritie ys woorthy of fame." In December, 1584, a servant of his met with a fatal accident, "having," the chronicler writes, "by myschance fallyn in to a furnes of whot boylinge lycker and so presently boylyd to death." The "furness" was probably one of his mater's dye vats.
The name of Thomas Gardner is entered in the School Register of 1594. This was probably the T.G. baptized at St. Alkmund's Jan. 5, 1583, son of Richard Gardner of Shrewsbury.
In the presentment of Arms for 1579-80 Richard Gardner is entered in the Drapers' list, and, from the nautre and number of arms in his possession, must clearly have been a man of some position. The name occurs again in the presentment of 15897. See Transcactions, 2nd Series, Vol. II, page 260.
The pamphlet is mentioned in Gleanings from Old Garden Literature by Mr. W. Carew Hazlitt (Elliot Stock, 1887). Mr. Hazlitt's conclusion that Richard Gardiner was in holy orders, may, I think, be dismissed at once by reference to the latter part of the first paragraph of the Preface. That he had strong Puritan leanings is very clear from the general tone of the pamphlet.
[In 1603, "Richard Gardiner of Shrewsberie" published the book "Profitable Instructions for the Manuring Sowing and Planting of Kitchin Gardens".]

George and Richard were very likely descendants of Richard Gardiner of Frankwell [which is a district of the town of Shrewsbury, Shropshire, England], but this cannot be proved at present, because of the missing St. Chad's registers. After having immersed myself in the known Gardner pedigrees and surviving parish records, my opinion is that is it more likely that George and Richard were collateral, rather than direct, descendants of the aforementioned Richard Gardiner, dyer, philanthropist and author of the first English book on horticulture in 1603 called "Profitable Instructions".
