Biome
Penquite House
Olive Tree,
The warm Temperate Biome, the smaller of the biomes is filled with the plants of the Mediterranean regions of the world - South Africa, California and the Med itself.
Visit this biome first and you will be better equpped for the Tropics!
Outside sunflowers, hemp, tea and a host of other plants from our own region grow.
Here's Mary, with these very tall bamboo canes behind. There are several different themes within the Biome, African, Asian, South American and so on.
Since opening on March 17th, 2001, the Eden Project has welcomed over 5 million visitors, vastly exceeding initial expectations. Numbers may well be tailing off, but the interest to be generated by the opening of the 4th Biome, in 2005, should hopefully help to keep Eden as the 'Eighth Wonder of The World'.
Bananas are the worlds best selling fruit. On the African continent over 70 million people eat a banana a day, in their staple diet.
Bananas originate from the Indo-Malaysian region, but are now grown in most sub and tropical regions of the world.
There is actually a near banana catastrophy happening at the moment with the last of the seeded bananas being wipped out in the 1950s, present day bananas are threatened by two serious diseases, plus insects becomming immune to pestisides etc.
Scientists are working to try to find an answer this problem, if they fail it is predicted bananas will be wipped out within a decade!
