We went to the Eden Project in Cornwall Devon in the summertime and luckily on the day we went the weather was really nice. We had gained a fairly good insight into the project because prior to going we read the book. The book was especially entertaining and set us in the mind of wonder.

It describes the quirky characters and the vast array of individuals that seemed to fit this crazy idea to take it from conception to completion.
Tim Smit the co-founder of the Eden Project researched different areas and ultimately chose this site; it was originally an expansive disused China clay pit . He immediately realized that this would be the best place to showcase the world’s most important plants. Although having a blank canvas must have been very challenging but also very artistically rewarding.
