The Garden Of Eden
The Garden of Eden is the Origin of Provenance
We need to go back to Genesis and to the Garden of Eden for the place or origin of earliest known history. For me it is the birthplace and cradle of civilization. I believe documented evidence of provenance for our world is rooted in the Garden of Eden and the Word - the Bible. It is also the origin, root or source of the Gospel, which is the good news of salvation for Mankind through Yeshua (Jesus), the promised Jewish Messiah.
Welcome to Provenance 101
Provenance 101 is a place to explore the origins of life. It is rooted in the biblical story of creation and the Garden of Eden.
This site celebrates the beauty of our world, the stories that connect us to our Creator and His creation, why we are here and based on our decisions, where we are going.
Nick Dalgety
The Artist or the Designer of our world is God who makes Himself known in the Bible and through His creation. Both creation and the Bible are signatures of the Artist’s authenticity. God's only Son entered our world as a Man just over 2,000 years ago. His name, Yeshua, although commonly known in the Western world as Jesus. He is also referred to in the Bible as “The Word made flesh”. So for me all creation and the essence of provenance comes forth from The Word.

Man To Cultivate
Then the Lord God took the man and put him into the garden of Eden to cultivate it and keep it (GENESIS 2:15). Right from the start God intended that Man have real purpose in life. Here Man was to cultivate the land and care for the creatures that inhabited the Garden. There is real…
Not Good To Be Alone
Then the Lord God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone; I will make him a helper suitable for him” (GENESIS 2:18). Relationships.

Enmity Between the Seeds
The Lord God said to the serpent, “I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your seed and her seed; He shall bruise you on the head, and you shall bruise Him on the heel” (GENESIS 3:15). Here we witness the greatest calamity of Mankind. Adam and Eve chose to disobey an…

Where life, beauty, and truth first took root
Where It All Began
The Garden of Eden is where it all began. In the Garden God placed Adam and Eve, a place where they would have all their needs met. Sadly they chose to disobey God, setting in motion the traumatic life story of Man. Paradise is not lost though in that at the same time God activated His redemptive plan!
From the Garden of Eden to the landscapes of Israel to the streets of Nelson, Provenance 101 works to connect the dots.
