The Amazing Eden Project


I've now been to the incredible Eden Project twice, and I can't believe I haven't written about it yet! It's probably one of my favourite places in the world and trust me when I say you NEED to go!


The Eden Project started building in 1998 and was opened to the public in 2001 with two biomes, the Core was later opened in 2005. The Tropical biome houses tropical plants such as bananas, coffee, rubber and has the climate of a rainforest. The Mediterranean biome houses arid plants in a warm temperature such as olives, lemons, eggplants, tomatoes, cacti etc. The huge outdoor gardens showcase plants from all different parts of the world, including local UK species. Lastly, the Core has art installations and is an education facility. There are many art sculptures situated both in the biomes and around the gardens also, including a giant bee, all made from recycled material.

After all that walking around, I was even able to get some delicious vegan katsu curry! 

  

Well, that's the Eden Project! I love this place so so much and what's really great about it is you pay for yearly entry. Last time we were in Cornwall, we were close by and had an hour to kill, so we decided to have a quick nip round again. I love the education this gorgeous place brings to so many people and the importance it has. It really is one of the best places in the UK so what are you waiting for? Get going! Oh, and don't leave without visiting the gift shop, it's not one to be missed ;)

    The Eden Project looks amazing! The design is interesting from the sky - especially with the dome vibes and all. Love that it houses so many different plants. All of them looks gorgeous! Glad you enjoyed your time out there :).

Image
The planet is what I am truly passionate about and for just over a year now I have been trying to find new ways to lead a more sustainable life. This is something I believe we all need to do and the good news is, it's super easy to make small changes to do so! In this series, we're going to look at the different areas simple changes can be made in day to day life  to have you living a more sustainable and ethical lifestyle in no time. How to Lower Your Plastic Consumption  You've seen the dreadful pictures of plastic filled oceans. You've seen the video of the turtle having a straw pulled out of it's nose. You know the stories of turtles eating plastic bags thinking they are jellyfish, penguins having 6-pack rings stuck round their necks, countless wildlife choking on or being poisoned by the deadly chemicals polluting their home. But what can you do about it? Plastic is taking over our lives people! Did you know every toothbrush you have ever used is st...

A City of Nature - The End of Our Adventure

Image
Well it took me long enough, but I still can't believe this is my last travelling post. I can't think of a better way to end it than with Gardens By The Bay, one of my favourite places from the whole trip. I just love the fact this huge nature park, home to over 1,000,000 plants, is in the middle of the city. It is home to the Dragonfly lake, Heritage Gardens, Cloud Forest, Flower Dome, and of course the magnificent Supertree Grove. The Flower Dome is the largest glass greenhouse in the world, and obviously is home to an abundance of flowers. The Cloud Forest hosts a walkway that wraps around a 35m high mountain in the middle of the dome. I am awful with heights so walking this had me scared as hell, especially when my ever so loving boyfriend nudged me, causing me to scream in front of all the other people (including children) walking along it without a care in the world. The walkway had glass panels on either side, which even though I...

Why You Should Go to Singapore

Image
So I was going to try and do Singapore as one long last post of our travels. But since seeing how many photos we have and just how much we did...that's going to be impossible. Our short trip was filled up with 3 main things: 1) Random Exploring 2) The Singapore Zoo (kinda twice but we'll get into that) 3) Gardens by the Bay ...we also ended up seeing Dunkirk at the IMAX while we were there, which was awesome but not awesome enough to earn it's own blogpost I 'm going to have to take a moment here to appreciate Singapore airport because oh my god it is the best place in the world. We didn't even use it to it's full potential, and it's still the best place in the world. In Changi airport you can go on a nature trail through sunflower, cactus, orchid and butterfly gardens. If that's not your style, you can visit the cinema or entertainment areas with games consoles or the SWIMMING POOL or the SLIDE. Not to mention all the stuff you find in other ...
