The Eden project is unusual.
It has biodomes/giant round greenhouses that are the home to plants world wide.
It was created in the waste are of a disused clay mine in Cornwall.
It is a huge tourist attraction.
Quote…” Dubbed the Eighth Wonder of the World by some, Eden is a dramatic global garden housed in tropical biomes that nestle in a crater the size of 30 football pitches.”
