| 04 | Judaism | 20061126 | 20070811 | Peter France explores how Judaism views gardens and nature. For Jews the first garden was the garden of Eden, the home of Adam and Eve, and it was in the garden that God told Adam to work and preserve the land. Jews believe that a gardener is an excellent metaphor for how all humans should live their lives. Gardens need constant tending and maintaining, and so too does our relationship with people, the natural world and of course ourselves. Two Rabbis explain to Peter the real meaning behind a Jewish garden and the act of gardening. |

Sikhs believe a garden can be a place for peace and tranquillity, but actually what we should be concentrating on is helping people and the environment, hence Khalsa Wood is a natural forest and not a designed garden. | |
