The Size of Wales Garden is inspired by the abundance and rich biodiversity of plant life in tropical forests, while commenting on the devastating consequences of deforestation.
313 plant species will be used, reflecting the number of tree species that can occur in just one hectare of tropical forest. Slender spires of columnar trees soar skywards. Miniature alpines cluster among the rocks, sprinkled with yellow flowers - the colour of hope.
A couple of small roofs nestle at the top of gangly posts, calling to mind the precariousness of our comfy existence, and a fungus fence gives a platform to the mostly hidden kingdom of fungi, so vital to the health of every forest in the world. This is a garden that aims to leave the viewer dusted in magic, and keen to do more to protect our precious forests.
The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.
A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!
Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.

Size of Wales is a climate change charity working with indigenous and local people worldwide to protect at least two million hectares of tropical forests – an area the size of Wales, and grow millions of trees. The charity also delivers climate change education to schools across Wales.
The garden has been relocated in its entirety to Treborth Botanic Garden on the outskirts of Bangor in North Wales where it is now open to the public. Its size has increased by 20% to give space for the plants to mature and it will be expertly maintained, which is vital given the rare species of plants it contains.
