2:15 And the LORD God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it.
Back in 2:8, God put man in the garden. Seven verses later, he did it again. Maybe man ran away. Anyway, this time there's a purpose: the garden needs a gardener.
Consistent with this chapter, and inconsistent with the first, we have "LORD God".
Note that there's a continuum between gardener and farmer. In fact, I'm not sure I can define the distinction between a garden and a farm.
