The Eden Project

[Dotty Sarah]

Hello All, I'm thinking about visiting the Eden Project soon and wondered if anyone has been? If so what did you think? Is there anything particularly good I should look out for or any extra special seeds available there?

[PyreneesPlot]

Yes, twice, but not since 2001, when we moved up country. Funnily enough I saw it on TV here at the weekend and thought how much it had developed. If I went back to the West Country to visit I would certainly try to go again.

It's good to drive past on the way to Heligan.

Did you say Seeds?
I''ve never been to Eden or Heligan

[Dotty Sarah]

Ah yes, I've heard that Heligan is really good

[Dotty Sarah]

Did you say Seeds?

not that I'm going to buy anymore..... ;-)

[veggiechicken]

No, of course, you're not - I'm not buying any more either

[cardiffsteve]

I love the Eden Project but it's getting so expensive to get in now. £23.50 on the door or £19.95 if you book 7 days in advance and know which day you want to go.
There are lots of seeds and plants but again unless you're feeling rich, I wouldn't.
If you've not been before its well worth a visit.

I have been 3 times, just go and look around and enjoy. Keep an eye on the garden magazines you some time get two for one tickets.
been to Heligan liked it but not great.
One to try is Abbotsbury Subtropical Gardens, Dorset

I've been to both the Eden project & Heligan,would happily go to either again.They both have virtues,if you only have time to visit one then let the weather be your guide aside from the shop & tea room there is nothing undercover at Heligan.

Just looked at that link & see they are doing Caster Oil plant seeds,don't buy them I got loads this year from plants pods in Madeira,when I find them they will go to the VSP

[Glutton4...]

I've been to both, but it was ten years ago! We did Heligan first, then found Eden disappointing. I'd say do both, but Eden first.

Even my Husband, who is simply not interested in Gardens - wanted to stay at Heligan!

[alldigging]

There was an allotment bit outdoors when we went.
The biodomes are lovely. Make sure you take a bottle of water with you though.

Did you get given the map & compass at Heligan G4 ?
