Hi everyone,

I hope you all had a lovely Easter, Martyn and I decided to go to The Eden Project on Good Friday, it was delightful.  The rain forest dome with its huge spectacular display of unsual plants and trees is my particularly favourite attraction.  The temperature was very hot and humid but well worth a slow walk around as this gives us a little insight into what a real rain forest must be like. 

The Mediterranean dome I found to be a little cooler, quite refreshing after the rain forest dome.   The second dome had the most enchanting character just like the country Spain with its oranges, lemons and grapefruit trees and its wonderful smell of spice and herbs, a very uplifting atmosphere.  I suggest exploring the rain forest dome first then venture in to the Mediterranean dome. 

Martyn and I visited The Eden Project last Autumn and we took part in the bulb mania project, in which the staff were conducting a huge scale display of tulips and we were asked if we would plant a number of bulbs in a pot and in return we would receive a paper bag of daffodil bulbs free. Well this Easter we were pleasantly surprised when we arrived to see all the tulip bulbs bursting with colour and dotted everywhere about the place and an even bigger display within the Mediterranean dome. 

If you are planning to visit The Eden Project for the first time, my advice would be to wear and take with you the following items:

layers of clothes.
water proof jacket on  cold/windy/rainy days.
sun cream, sun hat/cap and plenty of water on warm sunny days.
camera
ruck sack
and not forgetting a good pair of walking shoes/boots which are comfortable.  

The membership card is well worth doing as I am able to visit the project as many times as I want within that year, bargain!  I’m intending to see the different seasons to experience the changing colour of the landscape.  Also I will be able to see any special events that might be on through the year.

why not take a look at my gallery and see the photos of the Eden project.
