Abstract
The Eden Project is a multiple greenhouse complex in the United Kingdom. It is one of the world's largest greenhouses.
The complex is dominated by two gigantic enclosures consisting of adjoining domes that house plant species from across the world. Each enclosure imitates a natural biome. The first dome emulates a tropical environment and the second one a Mediterranean environment.
Eden Project, which is situated in a reclaimed Kaolinite pit, 5 kilometres from the larger town of St Austell, Cornwall, was conceived by Tim Smit Ti and designed by architect Nicholas Grimshaw
in 1995 and opened to the public in 2001.
The Eden Project is a social enterprise, which "involves individuals and groups who create independent organisations to mobilise ideas and resources to address social problems" (G. Johnson, K. Scholes and R. Wihittington 2009)
There are several stages of Entrepreneurial growth like, start up, growth, maturity, and exit. The Eden Project is at the maturity stage.
