Two new features at the Eden Project are due to star in BBC Two's Gardeners' World programme tonight.

The show is set to feature artwork from an award-winning show garden as well as Eden's new Western Australia Garden, in the Mediterranean Biome, which showcases the fascinating and beautiful flora of the region.

Leading garden designer Arit Anderson created the climate change-themed Near Future Garden, which won a gold medal at the RHS Hampton Court Palace Flower Show last year.

A striking vortex of black 'oil' symbolises how the continual burning of fossil fuels is depleting the Earth of the essential organic carbon that it needs to balance increasing carbon dioxide emissions.

This unique artistic interpretation of the impact of oil was conceived by Arit and built in conjunction with a specialist water feature company called Tills Innovations.

Further down the path, a series of three hand-crafted wooden sculptures represent nature’s powerful renewable energies - the sun, wind and water.

These were designed and created by Charlie Whinney to provide three-dimensional structures that can be appreciated from two viewpoints.

Arit said: “I’m so excited that Near Future Garden has now evolved and become part of the Eden Project communication about climate change.

"This is a huge honour, and thank you to everyone who was involved.”

Eden’s Director of Interpretation, Dr Jo Elworthy, said: “We were all delighted that Arit was happy for Eden to provide a permanent home for the garden installations.

"They look stunning and help to communicate the vital stories around climate change and what we can do to help address it.

“They beautifully complement the story of the Weather Maker in our Rainforest Biome showing how the rainforest helps to regulate the world’s climate.”

The episode of Gardeners’ World is also due to feature the new Western Australia Garden in the Mediterranean Biome.
