At the end of September, an intrepid group of Eden Team representatives ventured by coach to The Netherlands on a once-in-a-decade fact-finding opportunity.


Our primary destination was the


international horticulture exhibition Floriade Expo 2022. The Dutch drizzle was never far away so we felt quite at


home exploring everything on offer. From amazing examples of vertical planting, to giant insect hotels, hydroponic food growing, sustainability games and 3D printed buildings – we took a step into the future to seek inspiration to bring back to our UK projects.


During our trip we were also


fortunate enough to visit the Kröller- Müller Museum as well as Burgers' Zoo – the location of the first architectural


use of ETFE in 1982, the same material used for our Biomes' hexagon bubbles. At the former we were wowed by Picasso and Van Gogh, and at the latter butterflies and manatees were the stars of the show. Our group represented many


different perspectives, hailing from horticulture, interpretation, visitor services, marketing and more. We look forward to sharing with our colleagues more about our trip in early 2023 and hope to introduce some elements of the things we saw to Cornwall in the near future. Rose Cashman-Pugsley
