Open Garden Squares Weekend

A chance for the wider public to visit this small gated garden on the east side of Tate Modern.

The community garden with its pond and wildflowers is enjoyed by local residents, including schoolchildren.

The garden opened in 2006, thanks to a partnership between Bankside Open Spaces Trust and Tate Modern.

Planting days, pond dipping, wildlife spotting, events and gardening clubs all take place here. Local people can meet, dig, have fun and take pleasure in flowers, plants and animals, in what is otherwise a busy tourist thoroughfare.
