The Eden Project is more than just a giant green house or theme park.
The Eden Project is about connecting plants, people and places.
They offer a living demonstration of regeneration and they aim to reconnect people with their environments.
They manage to make 'Green Issues' both locally and globally, interesting.
The Eden Project is a very large environmental complex near
St Austell in Cornwall, England.
This amazing project was originally conceived by Tim Smit and designed by the architects Grimshaw.
The project took around 2½ years to construct and opened to the public in March 2001.
The project is ongoing, and part of its purpose is to see how the different biomes develop over time.
Despite the projects young age, it has quickly become one of the most popular visitor attractions in the UK.
Locals can get a ticket for about £10 that is valid for 1 year.
The complex includes two giant, transparent domes, each emulating a natural biome, that house plant species from around the world.
The first emulates a tropical environment(check out the giant banana trees), the other a warm temperate Mediterranean type environment. There is also an
outsite picnic area, an excellent gift shop selling a wide selection of gifts and locally produced gifts. Ample parking and nice clean toilets are also provided.
