The Eden Project was set up in a gully in Cornwall. It is an adventurous exploration of horticulture in geodesic domes that look like an alien has landed in the place.
The geodesic greenhouses are home for many exotic climates. It’s a great place to visit. A bit alternative and difference – like Kew Gardens with a touch of acid.
Here’s a few photos:
Aliens in the valley
I was doing this artistic thing – looking for the patterns in exotic leaves – I called it horticultural art.
I was very taken with these works of art painted on the rocks. I think they brought an artist across to do them. I thought they were great.
More horticultural art.

What is your email addy pls? – I have a poem entitled ‘Blue Meditations’
Hi Andy – opher@hotmail.co.uk – that’ll put you through. Look forward to hearing from you and the poem!
What amazing pictures. Badfish Out of Water takes beautiful pictures like that over in Bali. Nature is so original. Patterns, patterns everywhere. That 8th picture up there looks like a giant schefflera. If I ever get over there, that’s something that would be world seeing.
I love patterns. I love nature. And I love photography and art. I’m glad you liked them. I just wrote that poem that you put in my head! All the best Opher
