| | The Eden ProjectWritten by Brian Thomas
To promote understanding and responsible management of vital relationship between plants, people and resources leading to a sustainable future for all. The Eden Project - a visit. The Eden project, futuristic domed structures protecting alien climates, would not be out of place in any dreamers imagination of what space travellers might live in on Moon or Mars. Housed in what was once a Cornish China Clay mine, ambitious Eden creators have built largest conservatory in world and captioned a new word - biome - a bio-dome. Currently site has two biomes, largest containing over 1,000 tropical plants. At 240m long, 110m wide and 50m high, Humid Tropics Biome is showpiece of project. But, before more talk of main attraction, I will go back to beginning.... The Eden Project can be found at Bodelva.... in South of Cornwall, South West peninsula of England. Approaching by road, via Plymouth - take A38 West to Dobwalls, then A310. A few miles before St Austell look for signs to Eden Project. From A30 take A391 a few miles west of Bodmin and head for St. Austel. Again, look for signs to Eden. Access is easy and well within a day out from any town or resort in Devon or Cornwall and is a triumph of organisation. Cars and coaches are catered for around perimiter of China Clay Pit and transport laid on from car parks in a steady flow from all points to Visitor Centre where tickets are bought. The pit is huge but descending is an adventure offering rides in long tractor driven trains or by foot down zig-zagged paths to entrance of biomes below. The Outdoor Biome: Constantly changing with seasons, sides and bottom of pit is a patchwork of plants and decorated with art projects only fully appreciated when on foot.
