Biblical typology
Psychological interpretation
Eden is the mind of man, where he was placed to dress and keep it; without a man there is only wilderness. One clears the trees of traditional wrong thinking and the weeds of negative states, selects the seeds (the ideas one will entertain) and cultivates them, and replants the moment weeds are observed; the garden bears fruit after the seeds. Later lectures: every man has his plot in God's garden.

Genesis 2:15 | And God placed man in the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it
Own wordings
the garden of God is man. It is the mind of man
You never find a garden unless a man is present, for without a man there would be a forest of wilderness
it can be cleared of all these trees of traditional wrong thinking and can be replanted in harmony with the beauty that you desire
don’t wait one second beyond the time that you observe weeds instead of flowers
