He became a teacher and then an accountant in Singleton, and a farmer and grazier. In 1922, he was elected to the Australian House of Representatives as the Nationalist member for Robertson, defeating William Fleming. In 1931, the Nationalist Party became the United Australia Party (UAP), which Gardner joined. He held Robertson until 1940, when he was defeated by rival UAP candidate Eric Spooner.
