The Garden is the fifth studio album by Kari Jobe. The album was released on February 3, 2017 by Sparrow Records alongside KAJE, LLC.Jeremy Edwardson worked on the production of the album.
The Garden was met with positive reception from various critics. Joshua Andre of 365 Days Of Inspiring Media rated the album four and a half stars, saying "If you haven’t had the pleasure of listening to Kari Jobe’s albums before and are not sure whether to give her music a go, then I would say The Garden is the best way to start,". The four and a half star rating awarded by CCM Magazine’s Matt Conner was reasoned out of a belief that "The Garden speaks from a wide emotional range with the sort of quiet intensity for which Jobe is known" and that it "is an honest album from a trusted artist destined to be a friend at our weakest moments. " At The Christian Beat, Chris Major rated the album four out of five stars, saying "The diverse sounds and meaningful themes of The Garden make this collection stand out amongst Kari Jobe's work, if not in the praise and worship music community. From calm and contemplative moments of worship to rising, hopeful expressions of trust, each track is impactful." Giving the album nine squares out of a possible ten at Cross Rhythms, Tony Cummings concludes, "wherever you look on this set you'll hear a great voice passionately singing heart-warming songs." Indicating in a four star review from Jesus Freak Hideout, Nicole Marie Vacca writes, "Kari Jobe's The Garden is a moving, almost mesmerizing ode to God, making it perfect for times of personal worship and waiting on the Lord. "
On November 4, 2016, "The Cause of Christ" was released as the lead single of the album. Another single, "Heal Our Land", was released on December 2, 2016.
