The Eden Project is a global garden for the 21st Century, a gateway to a sustainable future and a dramatic setting in which to tell the fascinating story of mankind's dependence on plants. It is already a top international visitor destination and is rapidly becoming a unique resource for education and home to our Foundation for the Future.
This Living Theatre of Plants and People is a vibrant reminder of our place in nature and is a living demonstration of regeneration. In a couple of short years the team gave transformed an exhausted clay pit into a stunning lost world reminding us of what 'ordinary' people can do once we set our minds to it. In the Warm Temperate Biome you can travel to South Africe and California and walk amongst orange and lemon trees, old olive groves and gnarled vines. Ivestigate the cok popping present and glimpse the futures of naturally coloured cottons and new tastes and new ideas.
In the Humid Tropics Biome you can experience the sights, smells and sheer scale of the rainforest in the world's largest greenhouse. Discover the tropical plants found in the products you use every day and understand the ways in which they are being manges for a positive future. And in the Roofless Biome - 30 acres if outdoors - the crescent shaped terraces tell the story of plants that have changed the world and which could change your future. Hemp and sunflowers are growing here under the warm Cornish sun.
