with our expert green team. From February 22 - April 1, green fingered
enthusiasts will be able to meet the horticultural team during their tea
breaks at 11am and 2.30pm.
With a grand total of more than one million bulbs planted across the
Eden Project, the spring season promises to be the most dazzling yet as
crocus flowers, daffodils and tulips light up the landscape. Spring at
Eden has become a must-see event right up alongside the magnolias,
rhododendrons and camellias of the great woodland gardens such as Heligan, Trengwainton and Trebah. |

 Alice
in Wonderland @ Antony
Director Tim Burton chose Antony to be a key location for the new Disney
adaptation of Alice in Wonderland, which is out in cinemas on 5 March
2010*. Since filming took place at Antony in 2008, we've been inspired
to create our own magical wonderland. The house, garden and estate will
all be transformed so you can enjoy our tea parties, walk through scenes
from the dream-like stories of Alice, and even meet our own Mad Hatters.
Visit the Anthony website or see below for event details.
* Alice in Wonderland is released across the UK on 5 March on 2D, Disney
Digital 3D and IMAX 3D® screens. |
