The Cloister garden: Summary of the Cloister garden of The Ecology of Eden by Eisenberg.
The barbarian carved up the Western half of the Roman Empire after 476 AD. They desire Roman luxuries, and they must work hard to take care of the garden. The garden was a cloister. This garden was in the center of paradises garden. The cloister garden was a paltry thing, but now it was the symbol of heaven on earth.
The Christian thinkers think the cloister should be square like the courtyard of the temple in Ezekiel's vision, and they felt that everything was made by God. Others found something like the square garden that was made by men. Everything in nature started almost simple but then mankind changed it. In the beginning, they started to farm, and then they raise animals.
The cloister garden was also the place that everybody from young to old completely liked. The author said: It seems to me a better place than Eden for light.” The garden had fruit trees, many kinds of animals. The cloister garden was like garden of Mirth, the garden antiquity, and the garden of Renaissance
Before 1150, Northern Europe was largely sheared and the wetlands drained. The effect of many innovations made everything change. Everywhere in the world developed almost the same - the human population grew, the new towns cropped up, the factories grew almost untrammeled (free). The churches also grew parallel with the economies. The cloister garden may do done more to spur than they thought.
The author described the cloister garden as the model of all medieval gardens, more frivolous pleasures. The garden had all kind of the trees, flowers, some special animals. All views of garden can be seen by looking briefly at the best known long poem of the day.

Bees and bees nest
On second day of my class Religion and Ecology, we learn about bees, our professor brought into the classroom one bees nest. That nest was very pretty I have never seen before. The smell was very sweet like honey.
We learned about the bees working in their life. This is very good to know about them. Bees have their life very organize. I would like to know more, so I search in Internet. I saw ‘’2003 first place essay: Colonial Beekeeping from Shannon Grant ‘’. I copy some of her essay to share to my friends.
There are “3.2 million honey bee colonies, maintained by 211,000 beekeepers, are currently thriving in the United States. Aside from the production of honey and beeswax, these bees pollinate the crops that make up one-third of American food production[7]. Despite the cultural and economic importance of the honey bee, little is known about this creature’s humble beginnings in the American colonies”.
The true honey bee we can use “for food, preparing beverages, making cement, preserving fruit, medicinal purposes, and concocting furniture polish and varnish[6]. Because of unreliable roads and storage difficulties, these items were traded only locally[“10…
The European honey bees to touch mainland North America were sent by the Virginia Company in 1621. As of 1985….
There were a limited number of ways in which the bees could have traveled. Honey bees of this era were kept in a hollow logs, wooden boxes, pottery vessels, or skeps[3]. As long as the openings of the hives were covered, the bees could survive inside for a least tow to three months….
There is no doubt that honey bees were precious to the early Americans. In 1868, a single imported Italian queen bee was valued at $20[7]. Compare this to prices in 2003, where a queen can be had for $14[11]. Since $1 in 1868 is equivalent to $11.77 in 2003, that queen bee would have a value of $235 today[4]. Additionally, six states elected to make the honey bee their official insect[2]….
Our nation has benefited from nearly 400 years of the honey bee’s labor. Regardless of the time period, this fascinating creature has contributed to the welfare of the human race, and will continue do so while the apiarian art survives….
This is very interesting and would like to know more. Then I will share it with my friends. Shannon Grant is very deserving to win first place essay ‘’Colonial Beekeeping’’ in 2003. She lives in Rathdrum, Idaho.
