And the LORD God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to cultivate it and take care of it. I have quite fallen for Adam -- his stylish waistcoat, encyclopaedic knowledge and use for everything -- and constantly find myself thinking "What Would Adam Do?" as I go about my daily gardening business.'

It is with great sadness that we announce the sudden death of Adam Greathead, aged 27, who passed away peacefully in his sleep in the early hours of Sunday October 29 th. He was a remarkable young man with a passion for gardening that had begun at an early age. He acquired his first allotment at the tender age of 11 and ran a small business selling hanging baskets and bedding plants to his teachers at Hagley Catholic High School. His zeal for horticulture at school was recognised in 2005 when Adam was awarded the Princess Diana Memorial Award which honours children who inspire the lives of others in the classroom and community. Pulpit Commentary Verse 15. - Having prepared the garden for man's reception, the Lord God took the man. "Not physically lifting him up and putting him down in the garden, but simply exerting an influence upon him which induced him, in the exercise of his free agency, to go. He went in consequence of a secret impulse or an open command of his Maker" (Bush). And put him into the garden; literally, caused him to rest in it as an abode of happiness and peace. To dress it. I.e. to till, cultivate, and work it. This would almost seem to hint that the aurea aetas of classical poetry was but a dream - a reminiscence of Eden, perhaps, but idealized. Even the plants, flowers, and trees of Eden stood in need of cultivation from the hand of man, and would speedily have degenerated without his attention. And to keep it. Neither were the animals all so peaceful and domesticated that Adam did not need to fence his garden against their depredations. Doubtless there is here too an ominous hint of the existence of that greater adversary against whom he was appointed to watch.

Then the LORD God took the man and put him in the Garden of Eden to farm the land and to take care of it. The LORD God then took the man and settled him in the garden of Eden, to cultivate and care for it. Adam was very special, his smiling face lit up the room, he was superb with people and full of fun and mischief… I would often hear him singing in the garden, usually some saucy ditty. He was a fantastic head gardener, always adventurous, he loved mixing purple and orange, a young ‘Christo’, bringing me and my garden into the 21 st century.

In this episode, Adam showed viewers how he created his own patio from scratch. From measuring the slaps to mixing up cement, he revealed how to transform an empty corner into a welcoming seating area. 'Soon it will be ready for a couple of chairs to watch the sun go down.' Elsewhere in the episode, Adam also revealed his new fruit tree, saying 'it is really special' to him. And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made.Look at my greenhouse!' Adam told viewers in a previous episode. 'When you move from somewhere slightly bigger and then downsize, you don't realise quite how many pots you have.'

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(15) And the Lord God took the man (the adam), and put him into the garden of Eden.--The narrative now reverts to Genesis 2:8, but the word translated put is not the same in both places. Here it literally means He made him rest, that is, He gave it to him as his permanent and settled dwelling. And the Lord God took the man whom he had formed, and placed him in the garden of Delight, to cultivate and keep it. On leaving school and with no formal training he became a successful jobbing gardener in the Stourbridge and Hagley area. Adam was immensely proud that he was entirely self-taught and, as he gained in confidence, he began presenting gardening lectures to local groups and started to write articles for the gardening media. We had so many plans, so much we were going to do together, so many gardens to visit; I thought we had lots more time; but we will still keep gardening together, keep visiting our friends and enjoying their gardens, because Adam will always be with me in my heart.’ Adam’s funeral will take place at 11am on Thursday November 30 th 11am | Our Lady and All Saints Catholic Church, New Road, Stourbridge DY81PQConjunctive waw, Preposition-l | Verb - Qal - Infinitive construct | third person feminine singular There can be no doubt that Adam had the most promising future ahead of him and his death is the cruellest of blows, not only to John and the Ashwood team but to the world of horticulture.
