Eden Project, visiting
When I first heard of the Eden Project I thought it was a great
idea - not only the regeneration of an obsolete china clay workings, but as I fully appreciated the warm and wet climate and the unusual plants at home here (e.g echiums - found in Scilly and at 8,000 foot on Teide, Tenerife) I was confident this would be an Alladin's Cave of wonderful and exotic plants here in Cornwall. When it first opened, I was pleasantly surprised at the reported crowds queuing to visit the project, I decided to wait until the intital exitement had died down. Thinking that this would be the right time to visit i.e. the plants were now better established and the initial exitement would have quietened to real plant/habitat fanatics I registed for the Eden Project email newsletters in Jnauary expecting to be informed of the imminent flowering of an exotic plant, I was advised of skating rink parties and pop concerts.... We tried to visit the Eden project earlier today. We arrived by car, logical, given we were in transit from Cornwall to London. We were made to park some distance from the place and then offered a contrived "park and ride" bus to get to the main site. The fact that the project is in the middle of an area with no estabished infrastructure, I couldnt see why it couldn't have been designed so that we could just park near the site and walk. We rejected the queue for the bus and forced our way back out of the car park Can somebody explain the objectives of the project? Carol Reid |
