      Yes, the agrarian society easily understood references to farming and livestock. With the industrial revolution, most societies have lost contact with the land and with their own food. This makes these references hard to explain to city youth whom have never seen a garden, excpet on a food package in the grocery store. I see gardening as a wonderful tool for some urban youth ministry.

        Matthew 13:32 NIV

        32 Though it is the smallest of all your seeds, yet when it grows, it is the largest of garden plants and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and perch in its branches."

        I am going to list Garden references if that is ok...
