The Eden Project


The Eden Project is at the southwest tip of England and is a set of 'biomes' - domes designed to simulate the climate of different parts of the world in order to grow and study plants. The focus is understanding the relationship between plants and people.
The largest dome, the jungle environment, is the largest greenhouse in the world and could fit the Tower of London inside. It has a waterfall and a flowing stream. The focus is on the future, studying about recycling and botany. The location is even about recycling, it was a spent China clay mine that they reused. The flowers were beautiful!

The robot is built of all the electronics one person would throw away in a lifetime. (check out the teeth, they are computer mice)


The teaching center is called 'The Core' and in the center of 'The Core' is a round room with 'the seed' in it. It is the largest sculpture in the world made from a single piece of stone. It is a gigantic piece of granite. It represents the beginning of something special at the Eden Project to help the world.
