Garden
![In the Garden In the Garden, by José Navarro Llorens (1867-1923)](/bundles/ncbsw/media/Jose_Navarro_Llorens_-_En_el_Jardin.webp)
Plants, in general, represent knowledge, ideas, and intellectual concepts -- things of the mind. Plant the best and most beautiful of those in one place, give them plenty of water (truth from the Lord about day-to-day things), plenty of sunlight (the Lord's wisdom) and warmth (the Lord's love), tend them to keep the weeds (false ideas) out, and you get a garden. So it makes sense that a garden in the Bible represents the intellect, where with proper care we can nurture the best and most useful ideas and ways of thinking.
