Franchesca Watson

Franchesca is fascinated with the ability of gardens to connect people and nature, and the process of building gardens that combine beauty, architecture and art with sound ethical principles. To this end, she uses methods, materials and plants appropriate to the site and general environment. Her philosophy is that to be truly sustainable, a garden needs to be right first time, and so she designs to suit the architecture, climate and particular clients regime. Based in Cape Town, Franchesca has undertaken private and commercial gardens all over Southern Africa, and also in Europe, Britain, Australia, UAE and the Seychelles.
