I live within walking distance of the Eden Project piersdad, & another good website is www.eden-project.co.uk Don't miss the hyphen out, it's a different site to the official Eden site.
The chap who runs this site is a fellow B & B collegue & he does an update of what is going on almost daily, as well as lots of other useful information.

We get so many visitors from overseas stay with us, just to visit Eden. It has done wonderful things for Cornwall.. Tim Smitt, the chap behind Eden also helped restore the Lost Gardens of Heligan, about thirty mins. away. Their official web site is www.heligan.com Glad you enjoyed.

Cornwall is a wonderful place especially for gardeners, we visited only once sadly and visited lots of gardens including The Eden Project. We stayed at Mevagissey where we met by chance a man who worked at The Eden Project, he said to come back in a year or two as the planting was new but we've not yet been again. It's a lovely part of Britain so I'll pencil in a re-visit.

Lost Gardens of Heligan
must google that place seems interesting
LOL it seems that the eden garden is the only place the google car has been in that area.
lots of hits on google maps and heaps on 'image search ' all interesting, for Lost Gardens of Heligan
its a pity england seems to be a bit sparce for the google car images in the cornwall area
i love to visit places like amsterdam.
recently some grand children visited holland and i was able through their travel log almost follow them in their holiday in a virtual world.

I ought to put a GoY sign in my garden, so many of you come to visit Eden or Heligan, you could call in for a cuppa or if it was Louis a glass of red stuff.
You may even spot Hameryllis Owl Box. :o))

i guess as GOY gets even better known we will be getting more link ups socially.
i remember socializing with a person on the net for years and found it was my neighbor two doors away

You're always welcome Sandra.

I once saw the Eden Project on TV - made me want to get up & run down there to see it for myself! Unfortunately being unemployed I have no money to go down there. :-( Nevertheless, seeing it on TV was really great! I'll have to pop along to their website & see it again.
14 Feb, 2010
Well, If you should be lucky eneough to get here Balcony a cuppa will be waiting. Have a look at the unofficial web site www.eden-project.co.uk
14 Feb, 2010
Thank you, Pamd, I'd like to take you up on your kind offer some day! :-)
I have taken a look at the page you mention but will have to return another day.
