A garden path beside living water and flowering plants

Approaching the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil

Standing before the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil

A close view of fruit on the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil

The same branch after the fruit has been taken, under a darkened sky

A desolate path of thorns and dying plants

The return path through a rocky and desolate landscape

A barren field of rocks, thorns, and dead plants

The final barren landscape beneath a dark sky

Walk Through Eden

The Garden Entrance

Walk forward into the garden

Entering the Garden

Walk through an interpretive reconstruction of the garden described in Genesis 2. Follow the path to its fork, visit the Tree of Life, then return and explore the path toward the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil.

The scenery is an artistic reconstruction. The two named trees and the biblical events associated with them come from the Genesis record.

The World Outside the Garden

The path began among living waters, fruitful trees, and a garden planted by God. It ends here, in ground now marked by thorns, hardship, and death.

What was lost in Eden was more than a place. Humanity crossed a boundary that could not simply be walked back across.

“Cursed is the ground for thy sake... Thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee.”
Genesis 3:17–18, KJV

The visitor has returned to where the journey began. But the world is no longer the same.
