We’d be surprised if you didn’t know about the Eden Project already. Built on the site of a former clay pit near St. Austell, this garden complex has become one of Cornwall’s most popular attractions, having welcomed 22 million visitors since it first opened in 2001. Those massive geodesic biomes – which house the largest indoor rainforest in the world, FYI – are an iconic sight the world over.
And now, in excellent news for people in other parts of the UK at least, the charity and social enterprise behind the gardens is going global. The Eden Project North in Morecambe on the Lancashire coast is already under construction, with a subterranean site on the Isle of Portland in Dorset and a riverside complex on the banks of the Foyle in Northern Ireland also in the works.
