The Plant Guide is a reference for the plants featured in God’s Word for Gardeners Bible and in the bi-weekly Devotions Blog. Some day, all the species from the Bible will have their own page—an ambitious goal!! In the meantime, find the most familiar plants we can grow and get to know personally in home and public gardens.
For a printable index of plants from the book, click for the Plant Index or find it under the Plant Guide drop-down tab.
Adding a few plants from the Scriptures to your garden transforms your treasured outdoor space into a God-journal, a capturing of moments spent connecting to God’s Word while working your land. Soon budding green leaves and blooming flowers will seem to fill your mind and soul with testimonies of God’s ways. The natural next step brings garden to table—flowers and foliage for a vase or garden-fresh ingredients for a salad—tasting and seeing God’s goodness, as the psalmist implored. Your garden will take on a whole new delight!
Taste and See that the Lord is good.
Psalm 34:8 NIV
