Conceived by Tim Smit, who also restored the Lost Gardens of Heligan, the Eden Project has been constructed in a disused china clay pit and opened in 2001. Situated just over a mile from the town of Blazey and 3 miles from St. Austell in Cornwall, it has become one of the major visitor attractions in Britain and has brought a large amount of prosperity to Cornwall.

The original lay pit has been layered with soil and planted with formal planning, vegetable gardens and large swathes of wild flowers. In the centre of the pit are two biomes, one of which contains a tropical environment and the other a Mediterranean climate. The biomes contain plant species from around the world and visitors can wander through jungle settings and through dessert and arid settings contained within the two linked biomes.

The Eden Project also provides educational facilities in the Core building which has been designed to teach about the relationship between people, plants and the environment.
