Garden jobs in United Kingdom

The Clore Garden at Tate Britain will be a beautiful and biodiverse garden, situated across the front of the building facing the Thames, designed by Tom Stuart-Smith, funded by the Clore Duffield Foundation, and delivered in partnership with the Royal Horticultural Society. The garden will offer Tate Britain's audiences and our local communities an inspiring new green space for London. It will complement Tate Britain's artistic programmes and our audience activities within the gallery, and it will feature several sculptures from Tate's collection.

The role will be responsible for developing and overseeing the maintenance and management of the Clore Garden, ensuring the planting is appropriately cared for and always presented to the highest standard. To support the long-term success and evolution of the garden, you will work with Tom Stuart-Smith Studio to shape and refine the ongoing planting and care strategy to ensure that the planting and garden design continue to flourish and develop in the years to come.

The Tate Britain Gardener will sit within the Tate Britain division, reporting to the Director of Tate Britain, and will also work closely with the Head of Estates, Visitor Experience and the Learning team. Appointment of this role will take place in advance of the Clore Garden opening to ensure that the postholder plays a central role to the planning and operations for this new space, working closely with Tom Stuart-Smith studio and the capital team on the final stages of the garden's delivery, including the showcase garden at Chelsea Flower Show in May 2026.

You will play a critical role as an advocate and ambassador for the Clore Garden, bringing the garden to life for our visitors and engaging audiences with ideas around art, nature, biodiversity and sustainability, and working closely with Tate's Visitor Experience, Learning and Events teams and our partners on the project: The Royal Horticultural Society.
