Core building
The intriguing architecture of this beautiful building is based on the structure of a sunflower.
The A391 is closed in St Austell – plan your journey to the Eden Project.
To mark the Worldwide Day of Botanical Art, we are proud to host a special exhibition from the Eden Project Florilegium Society — a quiet yet powerful tribute to the enduring bond between art and the natural world.
This calm and contemplative display features 12 botanical artworks. Four each from the Rainforest Biome, Mediterranean Biome, and Outdoor Gardens. We invite visitors to explore both the beauty of the illustrations and the living plants they depict using the map, available to collect at the exhibition.
Set on the top floor of the Core building, between the café and the Gallery, the exhibition offers an opportunity to pause, observe, and connect more deeply with the plant world through the eyes of artists.
A map will guide visitors to the locations of the real plants across Eden, and throughout the weekend there will be live demonstrations by botanical artists, along with the opportunity to try illustration techniques yourself. A stunning slideshow of exceptional works from botanical illustrators the world over will accompany the display.
