Re: [aroid-l] Garden of Eden.

From: "ron iles" <roniles at eircom.net> on 2004.02.07 at 02:42:42(11107) If you look for "Eden Project" in your Search Engines there are lots of Web Sites, the three Plant Houses are like golfballs the size of ten foorbasll pitches & 180 feet high I think. 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.
