Gen. 2:8-9 "And the LORD God planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there he put the man whom he had formed. And out of the ground made the LORD God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil." God had great purpose as He planted His garden with humanity on His mind. From the beginning of creation He planted a beautified garden and placed humanity in it.
