We were impressed by the Eden Project, plants and gardens housed in a disused china clay pit near St. Austell. The complex includes two giant, transparent domes that house plant species from around the world. The first emulates a tropical environment, housed in the world’s largest greenhouse, and it is VERY hot, although not quite as hot as in parts of Britain recently, like our garden when Debbie's dad was cutting the hedge! This was the closest we are likely to get to the Ecuadorian jungle (sorry Kay!).
The second dome emulates a warm temperate, Mediterranean-type environment, so reminded us a bit of Cyprus.
