Garden of Eden

No prizes for guessing where we spent  today! The biomes of the Eden Project (near St Austell) are  such  distinctive structures. We were interested to visit the Project again, having  not been there for about fifteen years. Since then, both the Mediterranean and Rain Forest Biomes have been developed greatly. Now, there are  many more interpretation signs, and landscape features, plus the trees and shrubs have  grown up, nearly filling the enormous space within in each biome, which all makes for a more exciting and awesome experience. Outdoors, in the workings of the old china clay pit,  extensive gardens have been created (although not looking their best now it is Autumn). There is also  a new building called the Core, (shown on the right in my blip) based on the  shape  of a sunflower, to house exhibitions about invisible (to the naked eye ) worlds such as those of bacteria, viruses, algae.     
It is an interesting place to spend several hours, or a whole day. The entry ticket is a  year's pass so you can return as often as  you wish.
