Eden Project - Bucket List - CHECK!

The Eden Project is an educational charity and social enterprise that creates gardens, exhibitions, art, events and experiences to explore how people can work together and with nature towards a better future. 35 acre global garden built in a 50m deep crater --- AMAZING.  There are two huge biomes at Eden that house a rainforest and a Mediterranean climate. We walked 4 miles throughout and enjoyed a lovely lunch inside the Mediterranean biome. Each biome includes cultural artifacts and all the food sold inside Eden is harvested inside the biomes and garden. I could spend days here and certainly plan to return on each and every visit to Cornwall.  Go to www.edenproject.com to learn more -- and check out the photos below.

Jay and Carmony - you would absolutely love this experience and rumor has it they are building another one in Japan. Land is cheap(er) in Salisbury, NC... what do you say? A social entrepreneurial family venture?

Pano from the entrance... sloping walkways through lush gardens to get down to the biomes.

Huge bee sculpture in the outdoor gardens!
