The Eden Project in St Austell, Cornwall, is an educational charity which aims to explore all matters relating to plants, their environment and their uses by humans. The Eden Project is itself a regeneration project, being built on the site of an old china clay pit. Since its opening it has established itself as an international visitor attraction.

The Eden Project is home to the largest greenhouses in the world. Natural plant habitats and cropped landscapes are displayed in the Humid Tropics Biome, the Warm Temperate Biome and the Outdoor Biome. The Project aims to show how we use plants for food, fuel, medicines and materials. The Eden Project incorporates art, sculpture and automata to bring its exhibits to life and explain the many uses of the plant world.

A new building called the Core, designed according to the mathematical properties of the sunflower head, contains exhibits looking at the global environment, the challenges imposed on it and what is being done for the future.

Particularly for the children, there are play areas, storytelling, workshops and trails with leafy hiding places, stepping stones and sandpits. The Mechanical Theatre uses puppets, robots and film to bring plant stories to life.

The Eden Project operates a park-and-ride buggy service to transport you from your car to the site, if required. Manual and powered wheelchairs are available. The Land Train takes you down and back from the Biomes.
