What's it all about?
We built the Eden Project in Cornwall in a disused clay mine, transforming it into a rich, global garden where people can learn about nature and get inspiration about the world around them.
But we do much more than offer a memorable day out in Cornwall. Eden is an educational charity and social enterprise and much of our energy goes into:
- running transformational social and environmental projects on our doorstep and around the world
- creating unforgettable learning experiences for students
- putting on fantastic arts, theatre and music events
- creating stunning gardens as well as doing valuable research into plants and conservation
- making sure we run our operations in the greenest possible way.

People and learning
We aim to inspire people about their world, foster their talents and help them to connect with each other in new ways.
Places and regeneration
We're working on projects worldwide that bring about environmental, social, economic regeneration.
Climate and environment
As well as running Eden in the greenest way we can, we invite the public and business to engage with these issues.
Plants and gardens
We show visitors how important plants are; we also use gardening as a way of empowering disengaged people.
Music and art
Our rich programme of events excite and engage people to show that, together, we can make amazing things happen.
