The
Baha'i centre in
Haifa,
Israel contains an amazing
garden, colloquially termed a (the?) "
hanging garden". Haifa is a
coastal city built on a big hill ; the gardens have been extended, and now cover a swath of land almost from the sea to the top of the hill. The effect is amazing; the Baha'i had to get special
planning permission from Haifa
municipality to extend the gardens; one
main road now goes in a
tunnel under the gardens.
Any religion with such amazing gardens (and not for proselytizing!) has got to be admired!
