So the LORD God took the man [He had made] and settled him in the Garden of Eden to cultivate and keep it. 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.

And Jehovah God taketh the man, and causeth him to rest in the garden of Eden, to serve it, and to keep it. And the Lord God took the man whom he had formed, and placed him in the garden of Delight, to cultivate and keep it. 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. 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.' Alys Fowler 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.

And YHWH God takes the man, and causes him to rest in the Garden of Eden, to serve it and to keep it. 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.

We became best friends, he made me feel young again, I miss him terribly, but I know he will live on in our garden. The new area which we have just been planting with Cornus kousa will be known as Adam’s Garden, this has its own unique, special atmosphere and peacefulness. In the 1940s, Adam the Gardener was a national treasure. Each week in the Sunday Express, he advised gardeners exactly what to plant and how - from carrots in the last week of May (but 'do this after sunset, when there is less chance of trouble from the carrot fly') to lily-of-the-valley in the final week of November.
