Working in the garden definitely has the chance to grow better people than those who've never touched the land. There's so much to do and learn and understand; and because the Bible was written to people who worked the land, if you want to understand a lot of what God had to say you really do need to start understanding that God started us out in a garden on purpose.
We came from the dust, were meant to work the ground and are going back to dust for a while in the end.
