"The Creator chose for our first parents the surroundings best adapted for their health and happiness. He did not...surround them with artificial adornments and luxeries that so many today are struggling to obtain. He placed them in close touch with nature. There were trees of every variety, laden with fragrant and delicious fruit. On their branches birds caroled their songs of praise. Under their shadow creatures of the earth sported together without fear. Adam and Eve,... delighted in the sights and sounds of Eden."
Ministry of Healing p. 261 E.G.W.
And the LORD God planted a garden eastward in Eden;
and there he put the man
whom he had formed.
Genesis 2:8
