It's reference is in the Bible, Chapter 1, Genesis. Adam and Eve lived in the Garden of Eden. God gave them an apple tree, but told them not to eat the fruit. Eve was convinced by a snake to eat the apple, and shame came into the world.

The Garden of Eden is described in Genesis, Chapters 2 and 3. The Lord created the Garden specifically for Adam, the first man, whom God had formed. In Genesis 2:8-9, we read: "The LORD God planted a garden eastward in Eden, and there He put the man whom He had formed. And out of the ground the LORD God made every tree grow that is pleasant to the sight and good for food." Some believe the Garden was atop a mountain, or perhaps it was an outlet for freshwater springs, because we read, "a river went out of Eden to water the garden, and from there it parted and became four riverheads. " (Genesis 2:10)
Thus, the Garden of Eden was perfect. It offered both beauty and sustenance, being home to every tree "that is pleasant to the sight and good for food, " and a source of freshwater from the river to drink. As for man, God "put him in the garden of Eden to tend and keep it. " (Genesis 2:15)

The Garden of Eden was a paradise for Adam and Eve. The only thing God asked of them was to NOT eat from the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil. They did, and they were no longer innocent like the animals - they knew the difference between right and wrong. God punished them for disobedience, and humans were forevermore responsible for their own sins.

Wow! Are you really as retarded as you sound? Or just a shitty typist? The Garden of Eden is an alleged location from the Book of Genesis in the Old Testament of the Bible. It is the place where God created the very first humans: Adam & Eve, and where Eve subsequently fell from grace and cast Mankind into everlasting sin by partaking of the forbidden fruit. The fruit was offered to her by Satan, who posed as a serpent in The Tree of Forbidden Knowledge.

The Judeo-Christian (and Muslim?) location where animal and human life is to believed to have originated.
God made man (Adam) and woman(Eve) in his(her) image and placed them in a perfect utopia free of sin.
The Devil in the form of an asp(snake-like creature) tempted Eve to take a bite of a forbidden fruit (apple?). Adam also tasted of the fruit.
God expelled the 2 humans from Eden.
Geographically believed to have existed between the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers in comman day Iraq.
