Ogród biblijny w Proszowicach, Biblical garden in Proszowice, Poland

The Biblical Garden in Proszowice is a green space displaying different planted sections and stone structures that represent stories from the Old and New Testaments. The site includes miniature recreations of famous biblical locations arranged throughout the landscaped paths.

The garden was designed by Zofia Włodarczyk, author of the book Rośliny biblijne, and architect Leszek Bylina, both lecturers at the University of Agriculture in Kraków. It was established at a Caritas facility and is the oldest biblical garden in Poland, the first Polish attempt to present the landscapes of the Holy Land and biblical plants outdoors.

The garden uses religious symbols and informational plaques to help visitors connect with biblical stories through arranged plants and structures. This approach makes sacred narratives tangible and accessible to everyone who walks through.

The garden belongs to a Caritas facility and covers only 10 ares, so it is compact and symbolic rather than a large park. Entry is free. A detailed guide to the garden by Zofia Włodarczyk is available on site.

The garden is the oldest biblical garden in Poland and the country's first open-air attempt to show the landscapes of the Holy Land. Its designers were Zofia Włodarczyk, author of the book Rośliny biblijne, and architect Leszek Bylina, both academics at the University of Agriculture in Kraków.
