The Eden Project – The Inspiration Behind Gardens By The Bay

A chat with Ms Wong Yoon Fong, Assistant Director Sales & Marketing from Gardens by the Bay at the STB Trade Engagement Session in London revealed that Gardens was inspired by the Eden Project in Cornwall, UK.

The Eden Project is an educational charity, connecting one another with the living world and exploring how we can work towards a better tomorrow.  A full price adult ticket costs £25 with a 10% discount for booking online, as well as a green travel 16% discount if you walk, cycle or take public transport to Eden.

There are resources, courses and learning opportunities, you can even take an Eden degree (in Horticulture, Event Management or Contemporary Storytelling and Performance) awarded by Plymouth University, or a MSc in Sustainability with Anglia Ruskin University.  You can also get involved by becoming a community champion.
