我发现 (在圣经里) 有关园艺的主题无处不在。耕种和照管生物，扎根于我们灵魂深处，我们本就是在神的园子被造的。
I notice the subject of gardening sprouting up everywhere. The cultivation and care for living, growing things is grounded deeply in the soul of who we are as created beings in God's garden.
起初，神将我们人类安置在祂完美的园子里。在创造的故事中，前部分已说明了神乃是最初的园丁。祂造了草木——结种子的菜蔬、结果子的树木 (果子都包着核) 、灌木，以及其它各种树木。最初，神对这第一个园子的旨意，就是年复一年地为各种生灵及人类提供食物。
In the beginning God planted us human beings in his perfect garden. Previous verses from the creation story make clear that God is the original gardener. He created the vegetation—seed-bearing plants, trees that have fruit with seeds, shrubs, and all kinds of trees. From the beginning, God intended this first garden to produce food for all kinds of creatures and humankind year after year.
