What’s a Rich Text element?

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.

Static and dynamic content editing

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!

How to customize formatting for each rich text

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.

Championing the positive power of plants to improve lives, the garden represents a child's imagination as it blossoms in response to the freedom gifted by art therapy. Through this escape into art, children find coping strategies to deal with life.

Inspiration comes from Wonka's factory, Oz and Wonderland. Where colour is vivid and exuberant, shape and form are exaggerated. And, where the inner world of a child's anxiety is expressed as an outer wonderland.

Visitors will find the 'Dolly Mixture' stream, brimming with bright candelabra primulas; coloured panels featuring simplified children's artwork; kinetic sculptures and sound art illustrating the power of art to unlock imagination encouraging us to see and hear in new ways.

The garden also seeks to highlight the vital role specialist growers play within UK horticulture.

The Teapot Trust

Teapot Trust is a mental health charity that provides support for children and families coping with chronic conditions by delivering art therapy. 

One in four children and young people in the UK live with chronic illness and typically, feel defined by their condition, often causing anxiety and depression. Art therapy provides an escape from the pain and stigma of a chronic health condition.

Where can you visit this garden after the Show?

The garden has been relocated to the Royal Hospital for Children, Glasgow affording long term benefits and access to transformational art therapy. The garden site is located close to the main entrance to the children’s hospital and will be an inclusive safe space for patients, staff and visitors, including accessible walkways, companion seating and later, an art therapy studio. The formal opening is expected in Spring 2024.

“Having a garden at RHS Chelsea was game-changing for Teapot Trust. Our hopes were exceeded with national coverage, public engagement, celebrity patrons, new partnerships and new donors. We are now enjoying the next stage of its journey as it becomes part of the fabric of our support work in Glasgow.” Sarah Randell, CEO of Teapot Trust
