Inspired by the temperate rainforests of South America, the garden is built on a steep slope, which is covered in lush, temperate rainforest planting that enjoys high rainfall, cool temperatures, and wet conditions underfoot. Dramatic waterfalls cascade into a pool, and a striking red walkway winds its way through the garden, around the waterfalls and among the planting.

The temperate rainforests of South America are under threat from urbanisation, over-farming and logging. The garden raises awareness of these fragile ecosystems.
