Eden Project is one of the UK's top gardens and environmental tourist attractions, located in Cornwall.
As a tourist attraction, a social enterprise and a charity, Eden is a unique and complex organisation. The teams at Eden report to the Board, who report to the Trustees, who ensure we the charitable aims are met. The Eden Project is wholly owned by the Eden Trust. With now more than 500 people involved, all kinds of stuff are being done at the Eden project: art, science, horticulture, education, management, retail, catering, philosophy, maths, economics, design, construction, publishing, research, housekeeping, stewarding, guiding, fundraising, storytelling, marketing, media and lots more.
The Eden Project complex is dominated by two huge enclosures consisting of adjoining domes that house thousands of plant species, and each enclosure emulates a natural biome. The biomes consist of hundreds of hexagonal and pentagonal, inflated, plastic cells supported by steel frames. The largest of the two biomes simulates a Rainforest environment and the second, a Mediterranean environment. The attraction also has an outside botanical garden which is home to many plants and wildlife native to Cornwall and the UK in general; it also has many plants that provide an important and interesting backstory, for example, those with a prehistoric heritage.
