Eden is a charity and is run as a not-for-profit educational trust. In the first four years the Millennium Commission Lottery funded Project attracted more than six million visitors (now more than seven million).
 
Eden retained its place amongst the top five paid-for visitor attractions with 1.25 million visitors for the 12 months ending 27 March 2005 – double the number anticipated before it opened.

Among the highlights of the year to March was the start of the construction of the unique and inspirational Education Centre, The Core, which opened in September. The report details the key impacts of the public education programmes aimed at all Eden’s visitors.  In addition, during the year there were more than 400 school visits involving 27,000 children in organised groups, and 45,000 visits from university and college students.

In the financial year ending 27 March 2005 the Eden Trust generated a significant operating surplus of £2.85 million. After charging net depreciation of some £3.75 million and net interest charges of £1 million, Eden reported net outgoing resources of £1.96 million, a significant improvement on last year’s outflow of £4.2 million.

So as you can hopefully see, it is very successful. Now to say what it is about. The Eden Project raises money to bring plants from all over the world, from America to Africa, from Africa to Austrailia and so on. Below, you will see some of the extremely rare things they exhibit here. The Eden is also a very well established place for the environment. It shows things like huge robots, made out of things just like mobile phones and kettles.

Now the part you have all been waiting for......the pictures! (Highlight the pictures for some great and fun information!)

Well that's all the pictures for now, but if enough people ask I will definately get some more pictures up.

Just to let you know, the current works at Eden is the EXTREMELY DRY desert project, and the underground biome. The glass elevator there is also very cool which you have to go on :) And by the way, the biomes there are extremely hot, and there has to be taps and emergency exits there and everything because of the heat in the humid biome. It is actually that dangerous because the plants have to be in that environment.
