Abundant Life Garden Project: Lesson One - Water
Welcome to the Seeds lesson of Episcopal Relief & Development’s Abundant Life Garden Project
program, an interactive, Scripture-based program to introduce you to our work. Seeds are the
“babies” of the plant world, containing the embryos of new plants and coming complete with their
own stored food for the journey of growth and development. Some seeds will grow to immense
heights, as the mustard seed described in the New Testament parable. Others may not flourish at
all. Still others grow right where we plant them and exactly as we expect, while some are blown
by the wind to flourish in new and unlikely places. These seeds become fruits and vegetables to
nourish us, fibers to cloth us and trees to provide wood for homes. The earth is filled with a vast
variety of seeds we use for a vast variety of useful human purposes.
