We’ll be carrying out planned website maintenance on Tuesday 29 September from 4pm, so the website may be temporarily unavailable during this time.
In celebration and memory
Celebrate memories of times spent at the Eden Project, by dedicating a bench or placing a bronze leaf for a loved one.
They're a lovely way to celebrate a birthday, wedding or anniversary, honour a milestone, or remember someone special.
Both our bronze leaves and benches can be personalised before being placed - leaves in our peaceful Wild Cornwall garden and benches in our outdoor gardens.
Once your gift has been placed, we welcome you and a guest to Eden to view it for free.
