Elsewhere, the Mediterranean biome features fragrant, walk-through displays from areas such as South Africa and California, and you can even enjoy a Med-inspired meal in the themed cafe – but it’s the outdoor site  that’s closer to home, with its beautiful gardens, crop plots that feed the world and the WEEEman – a gigantic structure made from the 3.3 tonnes of “Waste, Electrical and Electronic Equipment” one person will throw away in a lifetime (yikes).

Of course, there’s more to Eden then just thought-provoking sites, and if you’re into your music,  an outdoor series of gigs called the Eden Sessions  runs annually – and this year, you can check out Chase & Status on July 4th and Plan B on July 6th.

So the next time you head to Cornwall for a break from the city, a visit to this remarkable project is a must – if only to see the possibilities of living an organic, environment-conscious lifestyle.
