Linda is giving a tour in the Biblical Garden. It is named that because many of the plants in the garden are mentioned in the Bible. Zatar, hyssop, rosemary, olive trees, Cedar of Lebanon, pomegranates, etc. are all here. There are also 2 olive presses that the students use in the fall to make olive oil.
Linda is explaining how the grinding mill crushes the olive and the pit before it is put in hemp baskets. The hemp baskets are stacked in the oil press and pressure is applied squeezing the oil from the olive.
This is the entrance to the garage. BYU has a fleet of cars and we check one out when we need to go somewhere. Blaine is very familiar with the roads in Jerusalem. Linda also drives but not as confidently as Blaine.
