When we plant gardens and give homes to honey bees, even in our urban or suburban landscapes, we become those who remember and delight in the Promised Land of God. In many neighbourhoods there are those who come and go and don’t care about the soil or the trees, but God’s people bring fertility back to the land. They hopefully long for the Promised Land with a bag full of tulip bulbs, a pile of compost, and a buzzing beehive.
