Today we visited the Eden Project. We weren't too sure what to expect but we did expect a lot of tourists, long lines and an expense. I wasn't quite that bad - it covered such a huge area the crowds didn't really make an impact.Eden was rather impressive, beautiful garden art and sculpture, educational displays, we discovered plants that we had never seen before and it had a strange futuristic feel about it. It's all about understanding our place in nature and the opportunities on offer.
The Eden Project, near St Austell, is designed not only to display plants from around the world, but to protect endangered species and demonstrate the relationship between plants and man. Opened in 2001, it covers 125 acres and houses 4000 species of plants in giant domes. The largest conservatory is 200 metres long by 55 metres in height and is constructed from 800 huge steel hexagons.
It was a precious, impressive and an amazing visit.
