A Common Ground

Tate Britain’s front lawns were transformed into a working garden led by artist collective Something & Son. Space was used as a community garden to welcome the public through a daily programme of activities and one-off special events. The plants, vegetables, herbs, and flowers in the garden were chosen to reflect multicultural London today, and highlight the unexpected ancient origin of plants and how they’re used in modern-day cuisines. Free seed packets for visitors highlighted some of the plants used within the open pop-up garden. Seed stands concept, based on the aesthetics of the garden, was designed by Tate Design Studio.
