Exploring the Eden Project: A Botanical Wonderland in Cornwall

The video discusses a nature and education park in Cornwall, England, founded by botanist Tim Smith. It highlights the unique methods used for pruning trees in the world's largest greenhouse, such as using a helium balloon. The project aims to recreate wilderness with diverse ecosystems, avoiding traditional botanic garden designs. The park features two glass houses with ecosystems from various climate zones, maintained by advanced climate control systems. The park serves as a hub for green technology, promoting environmental, economic, and social health on multiple levels.
