In 1999, work began on the Eden Project in a worked-out china clay pit in Cornwall - a grey moonscape 15 metres below the water table that contained no life and no natural soil. Today it is home to one of our most famous gardens, containing 130,000 plants from 3,500 species across the globe. Matthew Biggs talks to the gardeners at Eden who have created this extraordinary place to discover exactly how they achieved the seemingly impossible and how their pioneering techniques can be put to use in our gardens at home. Packed wtih tried and tested techniques covering all aspects of global gardening from design and soil to propagation and pest control. This is a very heavy book and may need extra postage.
