According to Genesis, God told Adam to tend the garden and to be fruitful and multiply.

The Hebrew concept of placing man in a garden conveys the idea of a temple with a garden enclosure.  In revelation,  we have paradise restored and it also had the temple of God in the new Jerusalem.

The garden was a place of encounter with God.  What do you think we'll be doing in the new Jerusalem?  serving God day and night in his temple and ruling and reigning with him

A large amount would be spent in worship and intersession and then in ruling in partnership with God.

That's what Adam was doing.  He was given the dominion mandate just like the church is given the dominion mandate.

God put Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden to care and nuture the land.
Adam is often referred to as “the first gardener.” What was he cultivating?

As is often the case in the Bible, translation sheds light on an interesting perspective on the human condition.

However, we might wonder what were Adam and Eve doing in the garden before their ejection. Were they just strolling around Eden, like one might do on a Sunday afternoon in the park, petting the animals which, according to the book of Genesis, Adam had just recently named?

Interestingly, that doesn’t seem to be the case. Contrary to what we might be inclined to think, while in Paradise, Adam worked:

The Lord God planted a garden eastward in Eden, and there He put the man whom He had formed (…) Then the Lord God took the man and put him in the Garden of Eden to tend and keep it.

Tending and keeping are two key words here, sure. The Hebrew word for “tend” is “avad,” which can be translated as “to work” yet also “to serve as subjects.” This makes clear Adam is in a hierarchical relationship with God: he is his servant, yet in a very specific way. God assigns Adam the duty of working in the Garden as the garden’s keeper. He gives man authority, but authority is supposed to be shown in service. The Hebrew word for “keep” is “shamar,” which means, “to guard,” to “watch over,” to “protect,” and “to preserve.”

They enjoyed companionship with God and each other in a perfect world.  They would have enjoyed children and the generations that followed them in this perfect world as well.

As far as specific activities, I think God was fully capable of capable of keeping Adam and Eve from being bored in the garden, just as he will keep us from being bored in heaven.  Creation and the fall are covered quickly in Genesis, but there was obviously a lot going on.  The time between the creation and the fall is not certain.  I am sure there was plenty to do in the meantime, before everything became hard.

But the fall had to happen to bring Jesus into the world to be freely chosen by people with knowledge of good (Jesus/God) and evil (departing from Jesus/God).  Eden was a foretaste of heaven that lasted for an unknown period of time for exactly two people.  All of humanity thereafter has had to choose Jesus in order to someday see the promised  glorified kingdom of God foreshadowed by the Garden of Eden.

I don't know what the activities agenda will be in heaven, so I'll just keep trusting Jesus.  But the center of it will be Jesus.  And we will be a community that loves God and each other.
