"Sandy in the Garden of Eden!" Saint Austell by sandysmith


Saint Austell Travel Guide: 117 reviews and 207 photos

I'm not a big gardening fan - so I wasn't quite sure of my expectations of the
Eden Project and if I would enjoy it.

Bloomin Biomes

Well I did! It not just a case of displaying plants from all around the worls but the interaction of how they are used in everyday life in the world intermingled with art sculptures and displays of our human dependance upon their every day use was a fascinating mix.
I can fully recommend it - no wonder its a top attraction in Cornwall.

Pros and Cons
  • Pros:fascinating plant education/interaction with the world
  • Cons:can be very crowded in height of season
  • In a nutshell:plants and sculptures galore, interactive displays

    Enjoyed looking at St. Austell page - visited Eden Project whilst in Devon a few weeks ago. It certainly is quite impressive. I really should have taken more photos.
