Superbloom Schools

Be part of a blooming marvellous UK-wide spectacular!

Get ready to dig, sow and grow with us as we transform the Tower of London’s iconic moat into a spectacular field of flowers in celebration of the Platinum Jubilee.

Get digging and spread joy to your school community by creating your own flower display

In Spring 2022 we’ll sow over 20 million seeds in the Tower moat, filling it with flowers throughout the spring and summer, creating a spectacular 'Superbloom'.

Using our specially created seed mix, your school can design its own display in harmony with the Tower, creating a new biodiverse habitat to attract wildlife and a space to celebrate the value of nature for our wellbeing. It's a great way to get outdoors and work together to create something special for your communities to enjoy.

Share the moment with schools nationwide

Give your blooms lots of love and green-fingered attention and then watch your flowers grow alongside the Tower and other schools across the country in a shared moment of joy and celebration.

Step one

Sign up your school

We’ve had an amazing response from schools and have now reached our capacity for free school visits to the Superbloom. We would love you to still grow along with us next year. 

Although we won't be able to offer your school a free visit, we can provide the seeds and supporting resources for the project including online teacher training, lesson packs, short films and a ‘how to’ manual, which will be available and free to download from our website in February 2022.

To put in an application for your seeds, please complete the form. Seeds will be allocated on a first come, first served basis.

Already completed the application form?
It's taking us a while to process all the applications. If you have already submitted an application on behalf of your school, then we will be in touch to confirm your place as soon as possible.

Hear about future projects first
If you would like to be kept informed of similar projects please sign up to our Teacher Network. We would love to welcome you to the Tower of London in the future!

Step two

Get growing!

Get the most out of your superbloom with advice from our plant and well-being experts. We're providing classroom resources on topics such as gardening for well-being, history, biodiversity and plant science, helping you create a memorable project for your students. 

Watch this space for updates.

Step three

Share your pictures and stories

How does your garden grow? Connect with other participating schools nationwide, show off your flower display and beautiful blooms and share your top gardening tips and progress. We'll keep everyone up to date with the latest news from the Tower moat and school gardens across the UK. Sign up to receive updates.  

Participating schools will be offered free entry to the Tower of London's 'Superbloom' in the summer of 2022 (subject to availability).
