The Eden Project - www.edenproject.com - The Eden Project is only 7 miles from the cottage has got to be a must when visiting our Cottage; In a giant crater in Cornwall, England, it brings the stories of our world to life. In the huge covered conservatories, or Biomes as they are called, you can visit the majestic rainforests, the Mediterranean, South Africa and California and in the Outdoor Landscape discover more about the plants and places that share our Cornish climate.
Eden is...
* an International Visitor Attraction
* a Resource for Education
* a Foundation for the Future - a pioneering Foundation, inspired by the conviction that the future holds the promise of a better world for all. Their Living Theatre of Plants and People, is based in this stunning crater, provides you with a vibrant reminder of our place in nature. It is, in itself, a demonstration of regeneration and of what people can do once they set their mind to it. Over half of the exhibit area depicts our dependence on natural landscapes and wild plants. Into this framework are set the stories of the crops and plant products that have made our world. The Project is owned by the Eden Trust; a registered charity.
