Tate’s first show garden at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show, The Tate Britain Garden will present a bold new vision for how art, nature and community interact.
Designed by nine-time RHS Chelsea gold medal winner Tom Stuart-Smith, the garden will highlight the role of museums in providing public spaces where contemplation and relaxation go hand in hand with creativity and learning.
A restful space inspired by Tate’s significant art collection, sitting at the heart of The Tate Britain Garden will be Dame Barbara Hepworth’s Bicentric Form 1949, marking the first time a work of art from the national collection has been exhibited within a garden at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show.
The Tate Britain Garden at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show 2026 offers viewers a taster of the forthcoming Clore Garden, also designed by Stuart-Smith and after the show, the garden will be transferred to Tate Britain on Millbank and incorporated into the wider project, the construction of which is due to begin in April 2026, and open in 2027.
The Tate Britain Garden at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show 2026 has been generously funded by the Clore Duffield Foundation and Project Giving Back.
