Whitehall Garden Poems "The kiss of the sun..." PlaqueBrighten the mood in your garden with this Whitehall Garden Poems Plaque. The poem on this sign reads, Near the place where Jesus was crucified was a garden, and in the garden there was a new tomb where no one had yet been laid to rest. And because the Sabbath was approaching, and the tomb was nearby, that’s where they laid the body of Jesus. This is a much larger leaf design to accommodate the whole verse in one. Accordingly, it has a higher price. It would be easy to dismiss the poem as twee, but in fact there is some truth in it. The Bible is full of references to gardens, plants and vines.

Within a generation, Vittoria and Salvatore had achieved the American dream while still maintaining their cultural identity. Yearly, with the help of their eight children (three more had been born on American soil), they planted two crops—a cool-weather winter crop oriented toward vegetables and herbs from their native Sicily, and a warm-weather summer crop that included many of the fruits and vegetables from their new country. The farm continued to prosper, and the family began selling heritage vegetables to local grocery stores and Italian restaurants. There are four particular gardens mentioned in the Bible. Interestingly each of them are places of peace, but three of them are also places of sadness. However peace and joy wins out in the stories of these gardens. The first garden This leaf is a much larger (60%+) special edition. See image for comparison with standard leaf sizes. Which leads us to our final garden: The Heavenly Garden – the garden of eternal life. Here Eden is restored and we return to the Tree of Life and its healing properties.

Even perfect for Christmas hanging from your tree or the mantlepiece. Why not hang inside during the festive season then outside for the rest of the year? Poetry entered my life fairly late along its finite trajectory, via my dear friend Emily Levine, who has since returned to the void. It has remained a friendship commons, a place to gather with humans I love and parse the meaning of why we are here, for as long as we share this improbable gift of aliveness. None has been more present or more kindred in this poetic adventure than Amanda Palmer. We began reading and reflecting on poems together in public between songs at Amanda’s shows nearly a decade ago. As our lives shape-shifted, as the world shape-shifted, we never stopped: poetry, a metronome of friendship; poems, atoms of time and atoms of trust. And so I have entrusted Amanda with breathing voice into Mary Ruefle’s gorgeous existential exhale of a poem. Then the LORD God planted a garden in Eden in the east, and there he placed the man he had made. The LORD God made all sorts of trees grow up from the ground – trees that were beautiful and that produced delicious fruit. In the middle of the garden he placed the tree of life and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil

The hymn found its way into the hymnal ‘Hymns, Ancient and Modern and probably because of this became extremely popular, especially in London where it was used at many fashionable weddings including those of royalty. The second important garden described in the Bible is The Garden of Gethsemane. This was a bittersweet place. It became the garden of suffering and betrayal but before that, it was a place that Jesus liked to go to pray. Presumably it was a peaceful place where he could withdraw from the crowds.

A Bungalow Home Vittoria Giunta’s traditional Sicilian “Nanna” cabinet was built by her eldest son in 1926 It was Sunday evening and we were enjoying a time of hymn singing. A song that was particularly enjoyed by us all was O Strength And Stay. As we finished someone remarked, ‘What a pity the words of this beautiful song are not suitable for a wedding!’ Then Jesus went with them to a garden called Gethsemane and told his disciples, “Stay here while I go over there and pray.” Taking along Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, he plunged into an agonizing sorrow. Then he said, “This sorrow is crushing my life out. Stay here and keep vigil with me.” In this garden Jesus was placed in a new, empty tomb. It would have represented such sadness to Jesus’ followers. But it’s here that the great good news of the resurrection was announced to Mary who at first thought Jesus was the gardener John 20:15

Then the angel showed me the river of the water of life, flowing with water clear as crystal, continuously pouring out from the throne of God and of the Lamb. The river was flowing in the middle of the street of the city, and on either side of the river was the Tree of Life, with its twelve kinds of ripe fruit according to each month of the year. The leaves of the Tree of Life are for the healing of the nations. My sister turned to me and challenged, ‘What’s the use of a sister who composed poetry if she cannot write new words to a favourite tune? I would like to use this tune at my wedding.’ In the first garden, we lost our connection to God. In the second Garden, God is found in the midst of our suffering, whilst in the third garden hope is found in resurrection. The final garden is the place of ultimate victory and overcoming. Fully restored! Every garden represents a different stage of our lives and God is in every garden.
