Eden Project

The Eden Project is near the town of St Austell in Cornwall. It was the brainchild of Tim Smit who wanted to turn a desolate, former china clay quarry into a thriving area, full of life. His vision to build a bubble-shaped greenhouse or biome, was brought to life and is now one of the most visited attractions in Cornwall. 

It is a unique concept where tropical rain forest plants have been brought to the UK and housed in one of the largest greenhouses in the world. A second greenhouse showcases a Mediterranean environment. The Eden Project aims to educate people about our impact on our environment and inspire change.
