In the Garden is the debut album by New Wave duo Eurythmics, released in 1981 (see 1981 in music).
It was co-produced with respected 'krautrock' producer Conny Plank, at his studio in Cologne. Stewart and Lennox involved numerous guest musicians in the recording (see list below).
Compared to Lennox & Stewart's previous work with Plank in The Tourists, this album has a rather muted, psychedelic feel, with a greater use of synthesizers.
Two singles were released from the album in the UK, "Never Gonna Cry Again" and "Belinda". Neither the album nor these singles achieved any commercial success.
On November 14 2005, SonyBMG repackaged and released Eurythmics' back catalog as "2005 Deluxe Edition Reissues". The re-issue of In the Garden added the B-sides from the album's two singles, plus three tracks recorded live on the accompanying tour.
