The Gardens of God
See how gardens in the Bible serve as powerful symbols of creation, love, betrayal, and redemption. From the Garden of Eden to the Garden of God in heaven, these spaces reflect the journey of humanity's relationship with God.
Each garden offers a unique perspective on the nature of God and humanity, reminding us of our origins, our struggles, and our ultimate destiny.
