Eden Project
Bloom
This spring we're putting our gardeners centre stage. We decided it was high time that our visitors got to meet the team that make Eden the horticultural spectacle that it is!
You can join our gardeners during their tea breaks at 11am and 2.30pm daily to get the low down on what goes on backstage and perhaps get some green-fingered tips to try at home.
New for spring 2010 is our Crocus Maze, kindly planted by the Girl Guides to celebrate their Centenary. It contains over 200,000 bulbs - back breaking work so a big thank you to them!
