Bible gardens of St. Michael’s

A small garden within the walls of the former Benedictine Monastery of St. Michael’s shows a total of 49 plants mentioned in the bible. Each plant bears an annotation on the biblical context, the symbolism behind the plant and its medicinal effects.

One patch shows selected plants also depicted on the wonderful painted vaulted ceiling of the church itself with its 578 plants and flowers.

Please note, that St. Michael's church is closed for visitors due to extensive restoration works.
