The Bible uses a lot of metaphors and allegories between our heart and a garden. If you think about it, one of the first occupations of Adam held was to tend to the Garden of Eden, then his own garden. The famous Parable of the Sower is another illustration of how our heart is a garden for our spirit.
I found this on the Internet and thought this was just a beautiful picture of what our garden should contain. :) I hope you'll enjoy it as much as I did.
