Herbs of the Bible April 27, 2011

Time began in a garden: This class presents a short overview of the herbs of the Bible - their medicinal and culinary uses, and the cultural impact of garden imagery as presented in the Christian Bible. Reference will be given to the Garden of Eden, "faith the size of a mustard seed", "bitter herbs", and "frankincense and myrrh" that color our literature and separate the reality from the metaphors. A Bible Garden in Wisconsin is possible - plant choices will be discussed.
