Now, Eden is "mission control" for action often far away. In the Maldives the islanders strive to go carbon neutral and save their fragile homes, in Kosovo a garden grows where there was only bloodshed, the Big Lunch is now in the nation's calendar and homeless people are having their lives transformed through building gardens.
The common thread pulling all that together is Eden's journey - one of hard work and optimism - leading, learning , teaching, supporting and persuading - showing that by never giving up and working together nothing is impossible. We CAN find solutions to the challenges that this century will throw at us.
It's a roller coaster ride that will never end.
