At last! 

Our long awaited Community Garden at the Tate Modern will officially open on June 20th with a family party from 4.00 to 5.30 contact us or Synthia Griffin at the Tate (020 7401 5176) for more information on the event, or on how you can access the garden's special key system.

During the conception of the Tate Modern it was decided that an area of land should be set aside for a community garden so that local people could enjoy peace and quiet in what would become an area of intense tourism.

This vision has taken a long time to happen but finally the garden is beginning to come to life. After much consultation, a plan has been agreed and is being implemented with the help of burgeoning community participation.

We are planting fruit trees and creating a pond, flower beds, herb garden and mosaic. We are holding a series of volunteering events to create this original and beautiful haven for wildlife and local people.

The garden is a partnership project between BOST and the Tate Modern who also manage the wide and pleasant land around the gallery.
