| | Eden Project - Cornwall |
 | | The Eden Project, a collection of giant steel and plastic bubbles, known as biomes, that house some 250,000 plants at the bottom of a crater near St Austell, has exceeded all expectations. |
 | | The Eden Trust, a registered charity that runs the project, is now starting to raise funds to add a third, dry tropics, biome which should be completed by 2005 if all goes well. |
 | | Eden, 250 miles south west of London, has also spread its beneficial aura to much of the rest of the area, helping the recovery after the foot-and-mouth crisis that closed down much of the country last year at the peak of the tourist season. |
