Garden of Eden.

From: "Bryant, Susan L." <SLBryant at scj.com> on 2004.02.06 at 14:52:31(11093) My hubby came across this article on "Eden" in the UK, a botanical park built in a quarry. Great article and links Eden's website. I can't remember if it has been mentioned here before, but looks like a great place. Susan +More > http://www.enn.com/news/2004-02-06/s_12688.asp

From: "Derek Burch" <derek at horticulturist.com> on 2004.02.06 at 19:36:55(11096) Susan, it is indeed a fantastic place. Go to their site for a full look: http://www.edenproject.com/ The engineering of the buildings is awesome and the plants aren't that bad either! A number of fine artists have work on exhibit as part of the displays. I particularly liked Heather Jansch. Go here http://www.horticulturist.com/mastermag6/Jansch.htm if you are interested in seeing her sculpture with cork and driftwood. It is beautiful. Happy traveling ...

From: Neil Gordon <neil at ng23.abelgratis.co.uk> on 2004.02.06 at 22:12:08(11100) Yeah, i went there with my daughter just after it opened a year or 2 ago, fantastic place, with all kinds of interesting plants, they even had a baby durian tree in there. I made a promise to go back once everything had grown in, as it looked a bit sparse as the plants hadnt had time to spread out. Well worth a visit to all!

Leading Edge technology. Built in a mighty old Quarry with not much change out of $200 million. World Class Project. Yonks ago when I lived nearby I thought then the waste land might be great for a "Tropicarium". Though small, a rare jewel, the Living Rain Forest, Newbury, Berks, UK, only 20,000 square feet of glasshouses should not be overlooked either with every plant truly cherished too.
