You can spend your whole life traveling around the world searching for the Garden of Eden, or you can create it in your backyard.

When God created the Garden of Eden,
She became the first permaculturalist.

When God created the Garden of Eden,
She didn’t use synthetic fertilizers, pesticides, herbicides and GMO apples.

Until the eighteenth century, people believed that biblical paradise, the Garden of Eden, was a real place. It appeared on maps--located, ironically, at the confluence of the Tigris and Euphrates rivers, in what is now modern-day Iraq.

They, looking back, all the eastern side beheld
Of Paradise, so late their happy seat,
Waved over by that flaming brand, the gate
With dreadful faces thronged and fiery arms:
Some natural tears they dropped, but wiped them soon;
The world was all before them, where to choose
Their place of rest, and Providence their guide;
They, hand in hand, with wandering steps and slow,
Through Eden took their solitary way.

As long as you are pursuing happiness, you do not have it.
