Gazet Patursson

Páll Patursson), a holder of publicly owned land (Faroese: kongsbóndi), and Ellen Cathrine (née Djonesen).

He was the youngest of the Patursson children, and his siblings Helena, Jóannes, Sverri, Sigert, and Petur were all prominent figures in Faroese society.

Although overshadowed by some of his other siblings, Gazet established a reputation as a pioneer in horticulture in the Faroe Islands, specializing in botany and entomology.

[1][2] Although Patursson left much written material behind, most biographical accounts of him are based on the obituary that Niels Winther Poulsen wrote for him.

[1][3] After returning to Kirkjubøur, soon after the First World War he was the first in the Faroe Islands to engage in horticulture as his primary activity.
