The Eden Project and an evening with Bill Bailey

Posted on 19. Jul, 2008 by Tracey in News

Last week for an early 30th birthday present my boyfriend and I visited The Eden Project and then saw Bill Bailey (comedian) live at The Eden Project in the evening. It was brilliant, even the sun shined for most of the day and Bill Bailey was as ever hilariously funny.

Its the first time I have been to The Eden Project and I was stunned by its size, scale and beauty. The main attractions are the 2 biomes, one is the Tropical Rainforest and when they say tropical temperatures they mean it! it was very hot and humid inside as we walked through the giant banana trees and waterfalls, it was brilliant and the second biome was the Mediterranean climate of UK, Europe, California and South Western Australia concentrating on the arid and drought loving plants.

Other exhibits include the worldwide vegetable garden and allotment which put my beetroot to shame, some fabulous sculptures, educational centre, Monster of Waste, sweetpea garden, plant and gift shop.

I highly recommend visiting The Eden Project as it is superb what they have done to transform an old clay quarry into a highly acclaimed ecological tourist attraction.
