4worldlovers: Sir Seretse Khama International Airport Special Economic Zone (SSKIA SEZ) (East)

4worldlovers: Southern Africa is home to a rich diversity of fauna and flora. Over 24000 plant species have been recorded in the subregion, and many of our plants are cultivated in gardens around the world, where they are much loved by their hosts and by those who visit the gardens.

Southern African homeowners are placing increasing value on indigenous species in their gardens, in particular for the wildlife these plants support. By planting locally indigenous species homeowners can encourage the local wildlife - specifically insects - to travel beyond the confines of nearby nature reserves and protected areas into surrounding gardens, where the plants they feed on can be found. This increases the biodiversity of an area and helps sustain our wonderful fauna and flora, along with creating a sensory appealing garden to enjoy.

Are you looking for garden design or a landscaper? Perhaps you don’t know where to start? Above all, you require a landscaper close to you in Johannesburg or Pretoria. A landscaper that will offer landscaping and garden design and most importantly provide a professional service? Firstly, please have a look at our photo galleries to see examples of our previous landscaping work. This will give you an indication of what we can do for you. On the other hand, perhaps the best place to start is our before and after section. For example, you may have a garden that requires some attention and re-design. Perhaps you require a water wise low maintenance garden or an outdoor space with a fire pit – we have examples of all of these spaces!

Everyone is unique and so are their needs when it comes to what they expect from their outdoor areas and what their landscaper can offer. In other words, everyone has their own unique priorities and tastes. We therefore cater to this market, offering creative landscaping solutions for your outdoor spaces. Let us create a garden that matches your own specific requirements. Established in 2006, The Friendly Plant (Pty) Ltd has since grown substantially. We are an internationally recognised, multi-award-winning landscaper and garden design company based in Johannesburg, Gauteng, South Africa.

Your garden is the first part of your home that any visitor will see. In other words, it is also the last view that they will see when leaving… to clarify – first and last impressions always last!


There is no such thing as the ‘best’ landscaper. However, there certainly is ‘the best landscaper for you’! Your garden is a place where you can enjoy spending time outdoors, enjoying your property to the fullest. It follows that selecting the right garden designer will help to attain this goal while making your garden stand out from the crowd! Live in your garden!


Typically, a pool company will focus only on the swimming pool. Similarly, a decking company will only give attention to the placement of the deck. Lastly, many landscapers look chiefly at the planting of the garden.


We take a holistic design approach, designing landscapes and outdoor spaces (fire pit, boma area, outdoor kitchen, water feature) tailored to suit a specific space and the requirements, taste and lifestyle of a specific client.
