What people say about Tim Smit KBE as a speaker?

Eden began as a dream in 1995 and opened its doors to the public in 2000, since when around 15 million people have come to see what was once a sterile pit turned into a cradle of life containing world-class horticulture and startling architecture symbolic of human endeavour. Eden has contributed over £1 billion to the Cornish economy.
