The Tate Britain Garden

Inspired by East Asian woodlands and resilient, drought-tolerant species, the planting reflects Tate's sustainability commitments and uses long-lasting plants which increase biodiversity. A gently curving path made from garden stone reclaimed from the existing Tate Britain Garden leads to a circular seating area, crafted from repurposed materials. Surrounded by vibrant, biodiverse planting, the space invites conversation and connection, reimagining museum gardens as creative, social spaces.

A tranquil water feature, based on microscopic images of fungal structures, flows through a path of bronze dishes with illuminated rills, encouraging sensory engagement and wellbeing. At the heart of the garden sits Time Unfolding (2025), a sculpture by leading contemporary British artist Thomas J Price, evoking the sculptures which will be installed outside Tate Britain as part of the Clore Garden, a new green space for London made possible by the Clore Duffield Foundation.

The garden will be incorporated into a new, larger garden at Tate Britain, on London's Millbank. This new Clore Garden is anticipated to open in autumn 2026.
