Though it is essentially a collection of plants, it's really more than that. You don't just grow plants in a Jewish garden; you incorporate them into your life. Some will help transport you to different times and places; others will provide your senses with aromas, tastes, and beauty. All will help you experience a more personal attachment to God and to Judaism.\"\u003cbr\u003e--from the Introduction\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis guide shows how your gardening can sustain your spirit in new ways, whether you grow one fig tree on an apartment terrace, or five acres of wheat in the country. It may also help you realize, as never before, that for each fruit and vegetable associated with every holiday, there is a profound and sustaining reason.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTo ancient Jews, figs symbolized prosperity, grapes signified fertility, and olives represented the renewal of life.
