The Eden Project was established as one of
the landmark Millennium projects in the UK
to mark the year 2000 and is structured as
an educational charitable trust.
The 50 metre
deep crater has become home to thousands
of important and beautiful plants. Three
of the world's climate zones ("Biomes")
have been chosen for interpretation: The
Humid Tropics (Rainforests and Tropical
Islands) and the Warm Temperate regions
(the Mediterranean, South Africa & California)
are contained within the two giant conservatories
that have already captured the public imagination.
The
best time to visit is either first thing
at 10am when it opens (9.30am in the Summer) or
after 2pm. The quietest days tend to be
towards the end of the week so that is worth
remembering too!
