The Garden of Eden is a spiritual place, not a geographical one. If you think rain is good, then of course it rains there. If you think rain is bad, then of course it does not.
On a Biblical note-no there wasn't. "Rain" was not used/created until the flooding of the earth. It was not in the original intent of God's plan (Eden).
Genesis 2: 4-6 (NIV)
This is the account of the heavens and the earth when they were created. When the LORD God made the earth and the heavens and no shrub of the field had yet appeared on the earth and no plant of the field had yet sprung up, for the LORD God had not sent rain on the earth and there was no man to work the ground, 6 but streams came up from the earth and watered the whole surface of the ground" (NIV)
The word "streams" has also been translated as "mist." So, instead of rain there was a mist that came up from the ground to water everything.

A:No. Every part of the earth has been mapped and photographed, and there is no Garden of Eden. In fact, Leon R. Kass (The Beginning of Wisdom: Reading Genesis) says that the Garden of Eden is a purely mythic place. There never was a Garden of Eden on earth.

What was the Garden of Eden like?
The biblical Garden of Eden is almost universally pictured as an idealised paradise where everything was provided, man could live in comfort and no one had to work or suffer..Leon R. Kass (The Beginning of Wisdom: Reading Genesis) says the Garden of Eden was not intended to be regarded in this way, as a historical yet idealised portrait of a blissful existence we once enjoyed but lost, but as a mythical yet realistic portrait of permanent truths about our humanity. The the story of the Garden of Eden was originally intended to tell us something about ourselves, not to describe a non-existent paradise. The desire for simple explanations has led us to take the story at face value.
