The opening of the Eden Project in Cornwall in March 2001 brought a welcome touch of flamboyance and optimism to a county that was somewhat lacking in both. The creator here tells the story of the project. The book is illustrated throughout.

An updated edition of the bestselling story of the Eden Project featuring stunning new photography.
At the beginning of the twenty-first century, the impossible was delivered. From the sterile depths of a disused china clay pit in Cornwall rose one of the most remarkable and ambitious ventures in recent memory. The Eden Project’s Biomes, the world’s largest conservatories, are the symbol of a living theatre of plants and people and their interdependence, of regeneration and of a pioneering forum for the exploration of possible futures.
This is the extraordinary story of the Eden Project, of its conception, design and construction, of the larger-than-life personalities who made it happen and of all that has happened since its doors were first opened to the public in 2001. It is now undisputedly one of the world’s great gardens with more than 17 million visitors flocking there and projects and partnerships all over the world.
