We’ll be carrying out planned website maintenance on Tuesday 29 September from 4pm, so the website may be temporarily unavailable during this time.

Our projects

A rainforest built in an abandoned Cornish clay pit was the prototype. Our work now reaches from the Lancashire coast to Costa Rica, with every project aiming to bring people closer to the natural world, and to each other.

Caring for the natural world

From rainforests to urban spaces, we work to bring damaged landscapes back to health and protect the species we all depend on.

Inspiring action around the world

We're creating new Eden Project destinations around the UK and the world, each one shaped by its own landscape, stories and community.

Our impact

Walking the talk

To celebrate our 25th year, we commissioned a landmark Impact Report, which celebrates a quarter of a century of the Eden Project's regeneration, inspiration and global impact.

Partnerships

Driving change together

Real change happens when we work together, so we've joined forces with like-minded organisations to build a better future for people, nature and the planet.

Quote

Cornwall was never the destination – it was the proof. Every Eden, anywhere, is the same idea: people, plants, place, in service of the planet.

Our projects

People and communities

Our vision is of a thriving planet where people care for nature, each other, and their communities. 

Our flagship campaign The Big Lunch and communities programme encourages connection and helps people build the skills, tools and confidence to start or grow local projects. 

Our Nature Connections programme uses nature-based activities to boost health, wellbeing and learning. 

Through our schools programme, we equip young people with the skills, agency and optimism to shape a future where both people and planet can thrive.

Our projects

New sites

Eden Project Cornwall is a symbol of hope for a future that remains ours to make, showcasing human ingenuity and nature recovery, and acting as a catalyst for economic regeneration. 

We're building on these foundations with new Eden Projects in Morecambe and Dundee. 

These new public education centres are demonstrators of regenerative sustainability, illustrating new ways of thinking in their construction and operation, and will create a positive environmental and socioeconomic impact.

Positive action by numbers

Every ticket, Membership and donation supports our work. We're an educational charity and social enterprise, and the money raised in Cornwall helps us reconnect people with the natural world, right across the UK and around the globe.

Our projects

Nature and conservation

Our botanic collection features over 6,000 species of plant from all around the world – plants that feed us, clothe us, house us, keep us healthy, and regulate the climate. We tell the story of these plants to help people understand their place in the world. 

But our influence extends far beyond the biomes in Cornwall - we work to protect and conserve nature all across the world, and in doing so, help people to connect with the places they live.

From restoring native UK wildflowers to restoring a biological corridor in Costa Rica, read about our projects in nature and conservation.
