THE BIBLICAL GARDEN, ELGIN
This garden is believed to be the largest biblical garden in Europe, possibly the world.
It is planned that every plant mentioned in the bible will be grown in this garden.
There are plaques describing the plants and the relevant parts in the bible.
At the entrance there is a statue of a family beside a large bible. Figures representing scenes from the bible are placed throughout the garden, these are just a few.
The figure of Christ is visible from most parts of the garden but at times one has to move and look for Him. That's life too!!
Entrance to the garden showing a family looking at the bible.
The Prodigal Son
The son is on the left running, father on the right reaching out.
Can you spot the mistake the makers made with these statues?
In the foreground the scene shows Jesus and the woman at the well.
In the background the scene is of the shepherd with the lost sheep.
Jesus and the woman at the well, with the Father nearby! The Father is always close to Jesus and so are those that believe.
The Father - with the Rainbow of the Covenant.
The Good Shepherd with the Lost Sheep
Samson about to bring down the pillars
Moses receiving the ten commandments on the Tablets

The 'Family' having read the bible and visited the garden have met some of the 'people of the book' and the plants in the bible.
The ruins of Elgin Cathedral lie beyond the garden wall.
