Eden is a unique and complex organisation, so here's an explanation of how we are structured.
The Eden Trust
The Eden Project is owned by the Eden Trust, a company limited by guarantee and a UK Registered Charity – number 1093070.
The Eden Teams
The Teams report to the Board, who report to the Trustees, who ensure we meet our charitable aims. In the beginning there were five of us, now there are more than 400. We do all kinds of stuff: art, science, horticulture, education, management, retail, catering, philosophy, maths, economics, design, construction, publishing, research, housekeeping, stewarding, guiding, fundraising, storytelling, marketing, media and lots more.
The Eden Project site
Our site is an international visitor attraction with a difference, and not only because it’s in a hole in the ground. Our mission is to provide a stage on which we entertain and communicate both our work and that of others. Most importantly we want to give you a good day out by taking you on a journey that is memorable and inspiring. Everything links together – from what we grow, to what we cook and what we sell.
The Foundation
Everything we do is underpinned by the Foundation, the team which keeps a close eye on our integrity. The Foundation explores ideas, develops projects, education programmes and creative interpretation programmes. These marry horticulture, architecture, construction, art and creativity, science and technology. It looks at new approaches, makes new alliances and dares to experiment and ask the big, difficult questions. The Foundation doesn’t reproduce what others already do well. Rather, it works with a network of organisations worldwide to complement their work and bring different perspectives and ideas to the table.
