The Eden Project

What is the EDEN PROJECT ?

Over 100,000 plants representing 5,000 species from many of the climatic zones of the world. Many of these can grow in the mild conditions of Cornwall, others demand greenhouses and that is where Eden's two gigantic conservatories come in. The Humid Tropics Biome - the world's largest greenhouse - is home to the plants of the rainforest - bananas, rubber, cocoa, coffee, teak and mahogany. Whilst the warm Temperate Biome is filled with the plants of the Mediterranean regions of the world - South Africa, California and the Med itself. Outside sunflowers, hemp, tea and a host of other plants from our own region grow.

In addition to the plants themselves art is central to Eden's interpretation strategy and right from day one there will be many artistic expressions of storytelling across the site.

The public are naturally most interested in the excitement of the two giant conservatories - if we were an aquarium they would be our sharks - but there is much, much more to Eden than these two sensational structures and the use of the word Project in the name reflects the constantly changing nature of the place.
   
Dartmoor National Park

Head Custodian 01566 772365

Launceston Castle is set on the high motte of a stronghold built soon after the Norman Conquest. It was famously used as a jail for George Fox during the reign of Charles II. As the venue for the county assizes and jail, the castle witnessed trials and hangings of numerous criminals. The last execution was in 1821.
  Dartmoor was designated one of the National Parks of England and Wales in 1951. It is a beautiful moorland landscape with wooded valleys and wind swept Tors. 368 square miles (953 sq. km.) in area, with about 33,000 people living in it, and where about 10 million visits are made each year. All the land is owned by someone and the public is able to roam freely on unenclosed, open moorland on both foot and horseback. There are also about 600 miles (966 km) of public rights of way. Dartmoor is a rich habitat for wildlife and has a wealth of archaeological remains
