EDEN PROJECT

What is the Eden Project?

The Eden Project is a dramatic global garden the size of thirty football pitches nestling like a lost world in an old china clay pit overlooking St Austell Bay. Its 50 metre deep crater has become home to thousands of important and beautiful plants.
Three of the world’s climate zones have been chosen for interpretation. The Humid Tropics and the Warm Temperate regions are contained within the two giant geodesic conservatories which have already captured the public imagination.

The third climatic region, our own Cool Temperate zone, thrives on the climatic advantages that Cornwall has to offer. A fabulous range of plants from North America to Chile rub shoulders with the much loved native flora of Cornwall, the Atlantic rainforests, and many of the more familiar crops that have shaped our lives.

However, Eden is so much more than the awesome geodesic structures that are the world’s largest greenhouses. It is a global garden for the 21st century and beyond, a gateway to a sustainable future, and a dramatic setting in which to tell the fascinating story of man’s dependence upon plants.
