Hello All, I'm thinking about visiting the Eden Project soon and wondered if anyone has been? If so what did you think? Is there anything particularly good I should look out for or any extra special seeds available there?

Yes, twice, but not since 2001, when we moved up country. Funnily enough I saw it on TV here at the weekend and thought how much it had developed. If I went back to the West Country to visit I would certainly try to go again.Le Sarramea https://jgsgardening.blogspot.com/ -
It's good to drive past on the way to Heligan.

I love the Eden Project but it's getting so expensive to get in now. £23.50 on the door or £19.95 if you book 7 days in advance and know which day you want to go.
There are lots of seeds and plants but again unless you're feeling rich, I wouldn't.
If you've not been before its well worth a visit.Comment

I have been 3 times, just go and look around and enjoy. Keep an eye on the garden magazines you some time get two for one tickets.
been to Heligan liked it but not great.
One to try is Abbotsbury Subtropical Gardens, DorsetComment

I've been to both the Eden project & Heligan,would happily go to either again.They both have virtues,if you only have time to visit one then let the weather be your guide aside from the shop & tea room there is nothing undercover at Heligan.

I've been to both, but it was ten years ago! We did Heligan first, then found Eden disappointing. I'd say do both, but Eden first.
Even my Husband, who is simply not interested in Gardens - wanted to stay at Heligan!

There was an allotment bit outdoors when we went.
The biodomes are lovely. Make sure you take a bottle of water with you though.Comment
