Ms Hutt said: "It's so exciting to see how well Wales' first 'Tiny Forest' has grown over the past two years thanks to volunteers, Woodland Trust, Earthwatch, Keep Wales Tidy and Welsh Government funding making a big impact on biodiversity and wellbeing."

Around 1,000 trees were planted at the site when the scheme was launched in 2021.
