The garden was established around the grave plot where the first Prime Minister of the State of Israel David Ben-Gurion and his wife Paula were buried.
In this choice, Ben-Gurion waived his right to be buried with his wife in the nation's grand plot on Mount Herzl in Jerusalem.
[1][2] In March 2005, the inscription "Hitler" was sprayed on Ben-Gurion's grave by Right-wing workers who acted against the Israeli disengagement from Gaza.
Stepped stone slabs and rocks placed on both sides of the path and next to them vegetation and trees give it the appearance of a river channel.
The burial square is surrounded by stepped rock slabs that are also seats for the audience as well as a low stone fence on the southern edge.
