Jinny Blom is joined by Maria Balshaw, director of Tate. Maria became the first woman Director in the museum’s history when she was appointed in 2017. Prior to that she was Director of the Whitworth Art Gallery in Manchester, which she led through a major redevelopment, winning the prestigious Art Fund Museum of the year. As well as her love of art, Maria is a keen gardener, and has been integral to the development and protection of gardens at several museums including Derek Jarman’s Prospect Cottage. She and Jinny discuss the relationship between art and gardening, and the importance of people having free access to both.
