{"product_id":"south-africa-western-cape-dylan-lewis-studio-sculpture-garden","title":"Dylan Lewis Studio \u0026 Sculpture Garden","description":"\u003cp\u003eYou walk through a sculptor’s reshaping of the land at Dylan Lewis’s garden in Stellenbosch, where seven hectares of flat farmland were contoured into hills and valleys with earth-moving equipment. The garden borders both the suburbs and mountain wilderness, blending the two through its design.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe earthworks took two years, with Lewis shaping the terrain as he would a sculpture — just at landscape scale. The result is a series of dynamic landforms that now hold indigenous fynbos plantings, peaking in winter when ericas and buchus flower. Water comes from four sources: a perennial spring, seasonal mountain river, borehole and agricultural supply.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe garden’s layout follows no formal plan but groups sculptures intuitively over time. Japanese garden influences appear in the curves and ellipses of the paths. What began as a play area for Lewis’s children became his largest sculpture — the land itself, now grown over with fynbos that smells of the Cape in winter.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe studio where Lewis works stands on the same property, though the garden is the main draw. It sits on Paradyskloof Road, a short drive from Stellenbosch’s center.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"South Africa","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51932475359452,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0829\/8256\/8156\/files\/dylan-lewis-studio-sculpture-garden-art-gallery-paradyskloof-stellenbosch-south-africa-01.webp?v=1783204249","url":"https:\/\/murmurgo.com\/products\/south-africa-western-cape-dylan-lewis-studio-sculpture-garden","provider":"Murmurgo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
