    I was reading the new Birds and Bloom magazine tody and someone asked a question about plants to use in a Biblical garden. I have never heard of it. Any one else heard of it??

    I have heard of doing this, a Bible/Biblical garden is any garden that has plants
    that are known to have grown in Biblical times or are specifically referred to in the Bible.
    I think I read that there are more than 125 plants and trees that are mentioned.

    I've heard to this Polly. In fact, there is a church I pass on the way to work that has one. I've never had the time to stop and have a closer look though. There are alot of websites about it...google "Biblical gardens" and you will get lots of hits.

    What a cool idea - if I had more help and resources and a warmer climate... ah well, guess I'll just enjoy what the others are doing with it.
