The Garden of Mitzvot
The Garden of Mitzvot is a living classroom — a botanical garden featuring more than 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 an orange in your yard?
The nine plots
Spices, Home Garden, Herbs, Tree vs Vegetable, Seven Species, Orlah, Kilei Ilan, Kilei Zera'im, Four Species
