    Well, in the sense that people were mentioning the two in the same thread and relating their experiences of them both, I guess they were.

    Two very different attractions really.

    The lost gardens are a must just for the Jungle, but on the whole I was disappointed with the rest (although the plants sales area had a good choice of less common plants in good condition at reasonable prices too).

    The Eden project had great plants, but it was just sooooo preachy!

      Actually, the gardens are no longer 'Lost'. An infringement of the trades description act? I've a good mind to write to my local MP :D I'll get my coat :runhills:
