Eden Project

Welcome to the Therapy Garden. 🌿 It's here that we welcome those experiencing health-related problems to spend time in nature. Research shows that gardening and being outdoors can have great benefits for our mental and physical wellbeing. That's why we created this place – to help you reconnect with nature, and with yourself, in a calm and peaceful environment. If you, or someone you know, could benefit from joining us in the Garden, take a look here for more information: https://bit.ly/4bWCooS #Horticulture #Gardening

Students to exhibit Show Gardens at RHS Hampton Court Palace. 🌿 Victoria Cucknell and Hayley Herridge, Garden and Landscape Design HNC students at the Cornwall College University Centre based at the Eden Project, have been awarded the opportunity to each present a show garden at this year’s Royal Horticultural Society Hampton Court Palace Garden Festival. Their designs, focusing on the theme "Resilience," will compete in the Pocket Planting category, mentored by award-winning designer Tom Massey. Victoria's "Wild Child Cornwall" and Hayley's "Buglife: The B-Lines Garden" showcase biodiversity, pollinator support, and sustainable practices. We are incredibly proud of their achievements and look forward to seeing their innovative designs come to life. #RHS #HamptonCourt #LandscapeDesign #Horticulture

I am delighted to announce my next adventure is with Volvo Cars, where I have taken up the position of Head of Marketing Operations, Europe. Volvo is a purpose-led company, that gives people freedom to move in a personal, sustainable and safe way. For life. 2 weeks in, I am feeling immersed in the brand, witnessing Volvo Cars clear mission to make life easier, better and safer for everyone. Highlights include:- * A tour at Torslanda plant, Sweden. It was great to see how humans and robots work hand in hand to build our cars through the entire Volvo cars production process, from rolls of sheet metal to finished cars. * Seeing one of our partnerships in action at the Eden Project, Cornwall where Volvo Car UK is the official Electric Car Partner and Presenting Partner of the Eden Sessions music concerts. A collaboration that proudly establishes Volvo’s commitment to supporting a more sustainable future. Alongside customers and colleagues, I enjoyed the high energy of Fatboy Slim on stage with the backdrop of the impressive biomes. Thank you to everyone that has made it a fantastic start. I look forward to pioneering change with the talented team across Europe and navigating an exciting fast paced, digital and commercial transformation. #volvocarsuk #lifeatvolvocars #experiencevolvocars

This will be Andy’s second period at the Eden Project, having previously spent 13 years as the project’s Head of Research and Evaluation where he specialised in understanding and communicating the social and economic impact of the Eden Project in Cornwall. After leaving Eden he spent over a decade working on the transformation of garden visitor attractions in the UK and overseas. As Director of the National Tropical Botanical Garden in Hawaii, USA, he created and led a highly successful capital investment programme and reconfiguration of the South Shore gardens of Kauai.
