Designed as a permanent new garden within London’s largest UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Carbon Garden aims to reveal the invisible, bringing to life the critical role carbon plays in sustaining life on Earth, communicating the scale of the climate crisis, and sharing the extraordinary potential of the natural world to combat it.
Key elements of the project are:
- New permanent garden to open July 2025 at Kew Gardens
- Original design tells the story of carbon, the scale of the climate crisis and how we can use nature to combat it
- Planting will boost biodiversity, while an illustrative soil profile and exposed coal seam reveal the hidden world of carbon underground
- Stunning central installation inspired by fungi and created using natural materials
- The Carbon Garden encourages visitors to become advocates for nature
- Garden made possible by Biffa Award funding
