The Jerusalem Botanical Garden often referred to as "The Bible Path" is located on 35 acres in Jerusalem with over 10,000 species of plants. From the beginning of Genesis, when God plants His Garden of Eden, nature infuses the Bible. The prophets used botanical metaphors to convey moral and other messages. Nature also furnished the props for miracles; a bush engulfed by fire that didn't burn; the branch of an almond tree produced buds, blossoms, and fruits at the same time. The Bible Path opens a window to the symbolic role that plants play in the scriptures.
