Take your own food! OK, so when is the best time plant wise to go (inside and out)? We can dress for the weather :~)) Jenny |

Wonderful place, and lots of other stuff to do in the area. Maybe rather drier than Cornwall, too? How does Eden rate on the conservation scale? I haven't been there, and know nothing about it, but all that glassware looks dodgy from an energy-consumption point of view. -- Mike. |

Its not glass, its a double skin of some sort of high tech plastic with air between (they are really quite thick when seen close to, 1' or more) and is extremely energy efficient, the individual panels behave rather like magnifying glasses. -- Charlie, gardening in Cornwall. http://www.roselandhouse.co.uk Holders of National Plant Collection of Clematis viticella (cvs) |

We can dress for the weather :~)) Jenny Recently had a group of their gardeners here to talk Clematis and was chatting about the outside bits which seem to have come on a lot since the start. My impression was they now have quite a number of very enthusiastic and talented gardeners working there (which must be good!) March is a good time in Cornwall if you like Camellias, Rhodo's and Magnolia's however my favourite time is definitely September I just love the big Fuchsia's like boliviana and the Tibouchina's Cassia's etc. As to weather its always wet and cold (or potentially so)regardless of when you come, so come when it suits you, you could have a cracking few days or end up with webbed feet, no way of knowing :~) -- Charlie, gardening in Cornwall. http://www.roselandhouse.co.uk Holders of National Plant Collection of Clematis viticella (cvs) |

My wife went this year end of march/early april she was very impressed with
outdoor bulb planting, also very impressed with the whole project. Her advice would be to go when you can and enjoy. But do have comfortable walking shoes and remeber a lot of it is under glass see here for more info http://www.edenproject.com/3558_3580.htm regards and enjoy your visit, Cineman "JennyC" wrote in message ...
