day no. 14,736: you can take the girl out of the Garden, but you can't take the Garden out of the girl

When God expelled Adam from the garden; He sent a garden out with him.

Genesis 3:15
I will put enmity between you and the woman,
    and between your seed and her Seed;
He shall bruise your head,
    and you shall bruise His heel.


The woman was the soil from which the Seed would come.

Genesis 3:20
The man called his wife's name Eve, because she was the mother of all living.

Adam believed God's promise and named his wife, "Eve" because she was the soil in which the seed would be planted -- Eve was the garden.

For Eve, deception led to expulsion, but conception would lead to salvation.

1 Timothy 2:13-15
For Adam was formed first, then Eve; 14 and Adam was not deceived, but the woman was deceived and became a transgressor. 15 Yet she will be saved through childbearing—if they continue in faith and love and holiness, with self-control.

Eve may have been kicked out of the garden for her sin, but a garden was planted inside Eve for her salvation.

You can take Eve out of the Garden, but you can't take the Garden out of Eve.
