Patrick Watson is currently South Africa’s most innovative and versatile landscape architect.
Known for designing extensive mega-sites, such as Sun City and an entire Indian Ocean
Island, he is also the creator of exquisite small home gardens and quiet spaces for reflection,
such as at the Apartheid Museum in Johannesburg. A highly sought-after designer, he has
created over 200 gardens in Africa and many others elsewhere.
He seldom works from carefully drawn plans, instead combining artistic intuition with
extensive botanical knowledge and a deep concern for the conservation and restoration of
nature. His projects are creative, fresh with inspiration, and often bold, and he uses mostly
indigenous plants, colours, landforms and space to create visual and emotional experiences.
Covering 23 gardens and landscapes, and richly supported by exquisite photographs and
specially commissioned artworks, Veld is a beautiful tribute to a remarkable talent and
visionary whose work is deeply informed by nature. It recognises and celebrates the
combination of knowledge, skill and instinct that make up the man, and the radical influence
he has had on his profession, and the landscapes he has restored.
