The Tate Britain Garden at RHS Chelsea will present a bold vision for how art, nature and community interact. It presents elements from the forthcoming Clore Garden designed by Tom Stuart-Smith for Tate Britain, which will offer a beautiful and inviting new green space for Londoners to be inspired by art amidst a biodiverse haven of plants.
At the heart of the RHS Chelsea garden will sit a sculpture by one of the most exciting contemporary British artists working today - the work will be unveiled at RHS Chelsea 2026, ahead of a larger version being installed at Tate Britain following the show. Gently curving around the sculpture, a pathway of stone, reclaimed from the existing garden at Tate Britain, leads to an inviting circular seating area surrounded by rich and vibrant planting. The seats are made from existing materials from the garden at Tate Britain, crushed and reformed.
Immersing visitors in diverse planting, it offers a space for conversation and fostering social connections, imagining how gardens can expand the possibilities of museum spaces as creative sites for learning and engagement.
Taking cues from East Asian woodlands and resilient drought-tolerant plants adapted to warmer climates, the planting choices are informed by Tate’s commitment to sustainability, finding long-lasting plants which increase biodiversity. A beautifully designed water feature, inspired by microscopic images of fungal hyphae, will be inlaid in the path. Made from bronze dishes and lights with water flowing within thin rills, the feature encourages interactivity and sensory engagement, adding a sense of peace and tranquillity to this green space for wellbeing and enjoyment.
The garden is match-funded by Project Giving Back and The Clore Duffield Foundation.
The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.
A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!
Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.

The Clore Garden at Tate Britain will transform the landscaping surrounding Tate Britain along Millbank. Funded by the Clore Duffield Foundation, the new garden will offer opportunities for local communities and visitors to enjoy calm and beautiful outdoor spaces while significantly improving the area’s biodiversity. The garden will soften the existing landscape, featuring sculptures from Tate’s collection and a dedicated classroom for outdoor learning.
The Tate Britain Garden at RHS Chelsea will be incorporated into a larger new garden, the Clore Garden at Tate Britain on London’s Millbank, which is anticipated to open in autumn 2026.
