It’s high time we had a chat about the Eden Project because it’s too bloody awesome not to discuss, and no, it has nothing to do with Adam and Eve, although there’s plenty of fig leaves and temptation abound. Heard of it? I’m assuming some of you know something because it’s been around for a decade now and has twenty-two-thousand odd facebook fans.

Designed by architect Nicholas Grimshaw, the Eden Project is in Cornwall, UK, built on an old china clay quarry site and consists of a conglomeration of biomes on over 35 acres of land, creating ecosystems that are home to over 4000 species.

It’s the nature lovers Disneyland.

With ongoing biodiversity research, Eden aims to inspire conservation and sustainability, encourage people to get in the garden and appreciate nature and is a haven for educational excursions, family outings, arts & music festivals and fun field days.

I. MUST. GO!! …. Someday. Have you been? Do tell!
