Henk Scholtz is a visionary landscape designer and artist based in the picturesque valley of Franschhoek, South Africa.
Known for his vibrant, whimsical garden that has captivated visitors from around the world, it blends horticultural mastery with a deep personal artistic expression, creating spaces that are both visually stunning and emotionally up-lifting.
A kaleidoscope of colour and creativity, Henk's masterpiece was famously featured on the BBC's "Around the World in 80 Gardens", where Monty Don called it the most photogenic garden he had ever seen.
Every corner of the garden tells a story - one of joy, imagination and transformation. At the heart of Henk's work is a profound philosophy: gardens are living metaphors for change.
He believes that a garden is never finished - it is always evolving, always teaching. It humbles you. It reminds you that nothing stays the same and the beauty often lies in the unexpected.
This philosophy is evident in the way Henk embraces imperfection and spontaneity in his designs. He often uses recycled materials and found objects, allowing nature and time to shape the final outcome the garden.
Not just a space to admire, his garden is a space to feel, reflect and grow. Beyond his personal garden Hank has redefined what a garden can be: not just a cultivated space, but a canvas for creativity, a sanctuary for the soul, and a gentle teacher of life's impermanence.His work continues to inspire both amateur gardeners and professional designers alike.
