The WaterAid Garden harnesses the power of rainwater and highlights the importance of sustainable water management to combat the effects of climate change.
The rain garden designed with SuDS (sustainable drainage systems) principles, explores what a UK garden might look like 50 years from now. It features a colourful array of drought-tolerant species and materials that are reclaimed and repurposed with a lighter carbon footprint.
The centrepiece is a rainwater-harvesting pavilion inspired by WaterAid’s work with communities around the world to develop sustainable water solutions. This space efficiently harvests rainfall, filtering and storing this precious resource for drinking and irrigating whilst also slowing flow and providing shade.
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.

An international not-for-profit organisation, determined to make clean water, decent toilets and good hygiene normal for everyone, everywhere.
The WaterAid Garden will be relocated to Castlefield Viaduct in Manchester. Slightly redesigned to suit its permanent home, the garden will stand at the entrance of the Victorian-era Grade II listed steel viaduct, which was opened as a sky park by the National Trust in 2022, providing vital green space in the city centre and protecting the area’s industrial heritage.
