– Your common sense of a suitable ground for growing flowers and plants derives from a pleasant country or region with abundant vegetation, fit for prayer. It is with this meaning that it appears in some books of the Bible:
Gn 2,8.15 : The Lord God had planted a garden in Eden, on the east side, and placed in it the man he had created.
Gen 3:24 : And he cast him out; and at the east of the garden of Eden he placed cherubim armed with a flaming sword.

Am 9,14 : They will plant vineyards and drink their wine, cultivate orchards and eat their fruit.
Jn 18:1 : After these words, Jesus went out with his disciples beyond the Kidron Creek, where there was a garden.

– In the Song of Songs, the wife is compared to an enclosed garden:
Song 4:12: It ‘s just a closed garden, my sister, my bride, a closed source, a sealed source.
– It is synonymous with conversion to move from the desert to a garden:
Is 51 :3 : He will make the desert where it has become an Eden, and its steppe a garden of the Lord.
