Solomon’s Garden: Exploring the Biblical Roots

This in-depth presentation, based on years of research by author Jo Ann Gardner for her book, \"Seeds Of Transcendence: Understanding The Hebrew Bible Through Plants\", explores the native flora of the Holy Land\'s symbolic associations in Judaism and Christianity and their herbal uses and ecological importance. From the bitter herbs of Passover to the Madonna lily, from the stately cedar of Lebanon to the modest hyssop, this is a garden of history, spiritual vision, and some of the world’s most beautiful plants. Jo Ann Gardner has published numerous popular books on herbs and gardening over the past two decades. For more information, or to register, please visit www.arboretumfriends.org
