Garden of Mitzvot

The Garden of Mitzvot is a living classroom — a botanical garden featuring over 120 plant species in nine themed plots.

Each area brings the land-dependent mitzvot to life through interactive, hands-on learning.

Sample questions explored:

• Is papaya a tree or a vegetable?
• Which blessing do we say before smelling rosemary?
• What does a graft look like and when is grafting permitted or forbidden?
• What makes the etrog tree unique?
• How far apart must vegetables be planted from one another?
• How much distance is required between grapevines and annual plants?
• Do you need to separate terumot and ma’aserot when picking fruit from your yard?

The nine plots: Spices, Home Garden, Herbs, Tree vs Vegetable, Seven Species, Orlah, Kilei Ilan, Kilei Zera'im, Four Species

Visitors receive

• A collection bag for Havdalah spices
• A tea bag for tea leaves
• A guidebook to the garden
• The booklet Mitzvot of the Land in a Nutshell.

Families can also enjoy a Treasure Hunt activity in the garden.

Duration: 30–60 minutes
