Best Ways to Design an Eden Garden

Gardens have been known for their beauty since Biblical times. In that vein, one of the most innovative gardening ideas is a take on the original garden--Eden. This is a garden modeled after the Biblical Garden of Eden from the book of Genesis.

Plants and trees:

Consistent with the garden theme, plants must feature large green leaves. The foliage thick, with a forest-like quality. There should be a plentiful amount of greenery, with green and flowering plants. Incorporating small trees into the theme would help add to the thick forest theme. 

Characters:

There are three main characters in the account of the Garden of Eden: Adam, Eve, and the Serpent. One way to incorporate them into the garden by including statues of them within the garden. Plaster or marble statues of Adam, Eve and the Serpent can be purchased and spaced throughout the garden. It is even possible to have Adam and Eve together in the garden, with the Serpent looking ominously above them, perhaps on a tree limb over their heads. This would add a storytelling element to the garden theme.

Fruit trees:

The last element of the Garden of Eden is the temptation of the fruit from the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil, which result in Adam and Eve's downfall. Adding fruit-bearing trees is a good addition to the Eden theme. Another great addition is a piece of fruit in the Serpent's hand (or perhaps mouth) for illustrative purposes.
