Gardens of Eden: Monty Don's ‘Around The World In 80 Gardens’


 
 
 
I see trees of green, red roses too,
I see them bloom, for me and for you,
And I think to myself, ‘What a wonderful world’.”
~ Louis Armstrong, What A Wonderful World
(Lyrics by Bob Thiele & George David Weiss)

And the Lord God planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there he put the man whom he had formed.”
 
And out of the ground made the Lord God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil.”
 
And a river went out of Eden to water the garden; and from thence it was parted, and became into four heads....”
 
“...And the Lord God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it.” ~ The Book of Genesis: Ch. 2, Verses 8—10, 15
