A 20×30 ft Scripture-themed heirloom garden plan covering all US USDA zones — with Baker Creek seed lists, garden maps, and planting schedules for every region.
Each planting bed in this garden is built around crops directly named in Scripture. Zone A — Bread of Life grows wheat and barley (John 6:35, Ruth 2). Zone B — Egypt's Bounty grows the five crops from Numbers 11:5. Zone C — Manna & Tithe Herbs grows coriander, dill, and mint (Exodus 16:31, Matthew 23:23). A companion zucchini bed, a mustard seed planting, and a perimeter of sunflowers and marigolds round out the 600 sq ft plan.
All seed lists use Baker Creek Heirloom Seeds with verified SKUs and current pricing. Find your zone using the 2023 USDA Plant Hardiness Zone Map, then expand your zone group below.
Spurgeon's classic devotional for those who work the land — connecting Scripture, seasons, and the soil. A perfect companion to this garden plan.
