In Deuteronomy 8:8, the Lord describes the Promised Land as a place blessed with seven specific crops—fruits of the land that reflect provision, abundance, and spiritual meaning. These seven species, or Shiv'at HaMinim (שִׁבְעַת הַמִּינִים), are still honored in Jewish tradition today, especially during feasts like Shavuot and Sukkot. But you don’t need to live in ancient Israel to experience their richness. In fact, you can plant a Biblical Garden right in your backyard, using heirloom seeds or creative substitutions that bring Scripture to life.
