PERHAPS A GIFT VOUCHER FOR MUM?: MOTHER'S DAY
Tim Smit was born in 1954 and educated at Durham University. As well as the Lost Gardens of Heligan, he is the prime mover behind the hugely successful and world famous Eden Project, the major millennium-funded ecological/horticultural venture near St Austell.
