Happy Muslim Mama: Cornwall Trip: Eden Project – Mediterranean Biome

The second biome we visited was the Mediterannean Biome.  The children were relieved to be out of the heat of the Rainforest and into the fresher feeling climate of this biome.  This was a mix of Spanish, Middle Eastern, Mediterannean, North African and Californian plants and displays.  Many of the plants reminded my Mum of Pakistan and she left feeling very nostalgic.  Th fruit trees were particularly lovely: oranges, lemons, kiwi’s, pomegranate, loquats (which I noticed a certain person helping themselves to!)

I was very surprised to find these beautiful-smelling Jasmine or motia flowers which brides are adorned with in Pakistan.  Reminded me of my wedding and left me feeling nostalgic too.
