Inside The Eden Project in Cornwall

The Eden Project displays plants and crops first grown in Ancient Mexico - maize, cacao, avocado, chillies, maguey (century plant cactus) ... here, in the flesh!

Here's a Yokutz ceremonial chant from California, seen at the Eden Project:

'My words are tied in one
With the great mountains
With the great rocks
With the great trees,
In one with my body and my heart
A new day
A new night
All of you see me
One with the world'
