- Showcases 23 Stunning Gardens
- Richly Illustrated With Art
Patrick Watson is widely regarded as South Africa’s most innovative and versatile landscape architect. Renowned for designing vast mega-sites like Sun City and an entire Indian Ocean island, he is equally celebrated for crafting exquisite small home gardens and serene restorative spaces such as those at the Apartheid Museum in Johannesburg. A highly sought-after designer, Watson has created over 200 gardens across Africa and numerous others internationally.
Unconventionally, he rarely works from rigid plans. Instead, he blends artistic intuition with deep botanical knowledge and a strong commitment to conserving and restoring nature. His projects are imaginative, inspired, and often bold, utilising primarily indigenous plants, natural colours, landforms, and spatial design to evoke powerful visual and emotional experiences.
Veld showcases 23 of his gardens and landscapes, richly illustrated with stunning photographs and specially commissioned artworks. This beautiful volume is a tribute to Watson’s remarkable talent and visionary approach, deeply rooted in nature. It celebrates the unique fusion of knowledge, skill, and instinct that defines him, along with the profound and radical impact he has had on his profession and the landscapes he has transformed.
