The Eden Project (www.edenproject.com), which opens this spring in the county of Cornwall, England, is the world's largest greenhouse, 1 kilometer long, 100meters wide, and 60 meters high. It is also a model of biodiversity and sustainable development. The collection of domed biomes will re-create individually controlled Mediterranean, rain-forest, semidesert, and subtropical microclimates and will contain a databank of all major plant species. Built with £74 million ($120 million) in public and private funds, Eden is a tourist attraction, a research center, and - like its namesake - a natural setting for a moral lesson: Eat from the Tree of Knowledge, but plant new seeds.
