Visit the Garden of Eden

An isolated, abandoned industrial site in Cornwall, England, a region long scarred by mines and slag heaps, has been reclaimed; the former clay pit is now a virtual garden of Eden. Showcasing 4,500 plant species, the Eden Project is designed to increase public awareness of our dependence on plants, support research and conservation projects around the world, and provide a vision for a sustainable future.The grounds within the nearly 200-foot deep (60 meter) former clay pit cover 37 acres (15 hectares] and are interlaced with pathways, herb and flower gardens, planted terraces, trees, and experimental crops.
