THE EDEN PROJECT
Now And Then
The Tropical Biome
Here are some photos that I have taken during the construction of the Eden Project. I'm starting with the Tropical Biome as it's the largest, I think you will see how much it's changed over the last 13 years since the building work started in 1999. Not only will you see the difference on the outside, but the inside has changed the most.
