Sir Tim Smit KBE is best known for ‘discovering’ and restoring Cornwall’s ‘The Lost Gardens of Heligan’ with John Nelson, which is now one of the UK’s best-loved gardens.
Sir Tim is also Executive Vice-Chair and Co-founder of the multi-award-winning Eden Project in Cornwall. He is Executive Co-Chair for Eden Project International, which aims to have an Eden Project on every inhabited continent by 2025.
Eden has contributed over £1.7 billion to the Cornish economy and is proud of its success in changing people’s perception of the potential for and application of science by communicating and interpreting scientific concepts through art, drama, and storytelling.
It also lives up to its mission to take a pivotal role in local regeneration. It demonstrates that sustainability is not about sandals and nut cutlets but about good business practices and the citizenship values of the future.
