Biblical Gardens
The Biblical Gardens is small, but interesting. There are markers naming all the trees and plants. There are 2 grape arbors, with lots of concord grapes that are still green. There was an apricot tree with small apricots on the ground, none of them in good enough shape to eat though. There is a small herb garden, and a vegetable garden. I checked the pea plants, but the pea pods had turned yellow. The gardens are just off a state highway, so the constant traffic, and an occasional train kind of spoil the atmosphere. There is a dry brook, and also a brook with water. And the water fountain where hubby took my picture. Here are some of the pictures I took.
I think the tree in the last picture is a tamarisk tree. It smelled good. There were also fir trees, and 1 or 2 olive trees. We didn't see any fruit on them.

What a pretty garden!
The gardens look very pretty. Do you know why they are called the Biblical gardens?
All the plants and trees in the garden are mentioned in the Bible. I forgot to mention there was also a quince tree.
If I already answered you, just ignore this answer. I thought I did, but don't see it anywhere. It's called the Biblical gardens because all the plants and trees are mentioned in the Bible. There might be some that are indigenous to Palestine but are not mentioned in Scripture. I'm not sure about that.
Such a beautiful Garden....I found a picture of a tamarisk tree, I think it looks just like yours....There are many different types of the tamarisk tree....I'll post the picture for you to see....
Where is this? Pretty garden.
