Superbloom Schools FAQAt the Tower of London we are thrilled to be part of a very unique moment in the Tower’s 1000 year history – never has the moat been so colourful and cheerful – the Superbloom represents a new chapter in how the moat is used and this makes it all the more special. Why not do some research and find out what other interesting and surprising things the moat has been used for in the last 1000 years – thank goodness we are witness to its most joyful moment!

So, here we are standing amid a stunning Superbloom and almost at the end of our wonderful schools’ project. It almost feels quite surreal after all the planning and imagining to actually be in it.
To celebrate the launch of Superbloom at The Tower of London we invited all schools that are officially part of the project to take part in the Wellbeing Art Challenge.
We challenged students to create a group artwork inspired by how gardens play a vital role in supporting nature and wellbeing - the wellbeing of human beings, other species or even the wellbeing of the whole planet.

In 2022 the Tower of London will be celebrating Her Majesty The Queen's Platinum Jubilee by filling the moat with flowers to create a spectacular display.
From June to September the flower display will erupt into new colours and patterns creating a dramatic and engaging experience. Designed to attract pollinators, 'Superbloom' will bring a spectacular natural beauty to the urban space and introduce a new biodiverse habitat for wildlife. It will celebrate the value of nature for our wellbeing, giving people time to slow down, reflect and bask in the simple joy of flowers in bloom.
