Garden of the Month
The Eden Project 
The Eden Project in lower Cornwall, Britain is a recent realization
(late 1990s) of Tim Smit, now one of the top tourist attractions in Britain.
Under the largest greenhouse structures in the world, located in a reclaimed
clay pit mine, is a conservation and educational resource of several key
regions of the tropics and temperate world. Get the full picture
at their website (www.edenproject.com/)
complete with virtual tours and webcams. While a related project
Heligan looks to
the past, this project looks to our future. These photos were taken
late April 2004.
